Then may I suggest this card? Its quieter, it overclocks like a banshee and its $5 cheaper after mail in rebate. Its also made by Saphire, the company which also made the XFX board you have listed there as well. (XFX just stuck a sticker onto a card they got from Saphire)

Being a fairly hardcore overclocker, this card impressed me right out of the box. OC'd to 960/1445 with no issues at all and a max temp under load of 59*C. Idles right at 35*C OC'd, 32*C stock. No BIOS update needed(showed 800 shaders in GPU-Z).
