Since I've taken the pictures I've changed the mobo (http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodde ... od_no=1883),and I went passive for the cpu(with the new mobo I was able to undervolt).The 2 nexus are running at 600 rpm,the psu is inaudible,given the fact that I'm running the os(win 7 ultimate licenced)on the ssd,under normal load,the only thing that makes noise is the gpu.

And here comes my question:if I would change my 3850(20%fan speed) for a 5750 vapor X would that still be the only thing I hear???Meaning would the fan on the 5750 at minimum speed(20%) be audible or not???

The short answer is yes, it will be audible. It's a difficult case you have, in terms of silencing options. Have you considered an after market cooling solution? The 5750 has a 86 watts TDP, so it is not the most power hungry GPU out there.

EDIT: And get a larger desk, lol, or at least remove all the stuff from your current desk.
