Low noise GTX570

The MSI Twin Frozr III and Gigabyte Windforce versions would be good considerations too. I had a 480 with the Windforce cooler, and I currently have a Twin Frozr II card, and both have been pretty much silent.

I'd advise shopping around though. OcUK's prices have climbed considerably since I last looked. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't find any of these cards cheaper elsewhere, particularly the MSI. The Phantom and Gigabyte seem to command quite the price premium for no apparent gain.
 
The asus direct cu ii is very quiet, the fan speed increases from 1100 idle to only 1500 when playing crysis 2. it is a 3 slotter though!

+ 1 to this, i have the 580 version of the direct CU II and it is so quiet i cant hear it at all.

The trade off is of course the size, 3 slots. It all depends if you want to Sli in the future i guess
