Oh sure that is possible. But it would require that I put more cooling in my PC and a new PSU that is able to deliver enough power to the GPU. Not to mention that my machine I work on also would get louder. No, thanks.

Well, I sometimes actually use my PC for gaming but that is mostly emulating old games (pre-PS2 era).

Didn't say at all that you would need a new PSU, alsso I've not had a really loud or annoying PSU in years, same with my GTX 980 GPU. My current rig only has 3 fans which includes my CPU headtsink and it's a hell of a lot quiter than my last rig.

There is a definite thing such as "silent" builds that don't cost you your very soul and first born.

You sound like a retro gamer then.

I didn't say you did say.

I can tell you that if I would turn my PC into a gaming machine, I would need a new PSU and new cooling which would increase the noise in my PC which is currently whisper quiet. If I want it to stay that way, I would have to spend even more money.

Yes, on PC I am mostly a retro gamer, therefore I love gaming on consoles which is also way more compatible with my wife to play together.
