I've just bought myself a 4K Samsung TV (UE40JU6400) and will be doubling it up to act as my Windows monitor as well. I'd like to buy a GeForce 970 to get my resolution up to 4K and do a bit of gaming. Can someone please spec me a GPU with 0dB fan mode as I will be using it primarily in the living room and 0dB fan would be fantastic and will definitely get the Mrs to stop nagging about the noise! :p

I've seen this card already, but just wondered if there were any other suitable (or cheaper!) alternatives.
 
I won't be gaming at 4K, I don't have the processing power all round for it. I just want a reasonably high gaming card in the price point of a 970. At best, I'll probably keep my gaming at 1080p, but would like to run Windows at 4K and at 0dB on idle mode when I'm just surfing or working with Office apps.
 
Luckily for me, my brother had a Gigabyte 970 that he didn't want to use anymore, so I've "borrowed" it for the time being! It seems reasonably quiet and the system is a LOT quieter than with my 560Ti which is good and pleases the Mrs!

I'll see how that goes for now. I've got the PC up and running on the TV running 4K @ 30Hz. I've updated the latest drivers and I can now do 60Hz without the terrible flickering I was getting, however, I need to tweak the settings a little more as the text seems to have a horrible glow effect around it when running at 60Hz.
