Steve, I went with your original recommendation, a used MSI GTX 1050 Ti off of eBay.
Thanks for everything!

Re: Modest Video Card to keep me quiet?
Wonderful recommendations. Thank you!
CA_Steve, wow, that is quite the find (phoronix).
It seems the MSI 1060 comes in 2 variants. One with dual and one with single fans. Wondering what difference this might make with noise...

Re: Suggestions for a [quieter] DAW?
Of course you are right, it has to be CPU loading! I had no idea how much crap was running at the same time. I think I am going to have to do a fresh install. The list of running processes is overwhelming.

Re: Suggestions for a [quieter] DAW?
Update: I installed the crucial MX300 525GB and the Noctua fan as well as a EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3 whose fan is completely off (it does ramp up occasionally but then turns off again).

Re: Suggestions for a more silent DAW?
Thank you, I will move forward with your suggestions! As to the Crucial SDD, I see that there are different sizes at different price points. Is the 525GB in the sweet spot for price vs size or does that matter? Also, while I'm at it can you recommend a silent (maybe fanless?) PSU that will suite my ...

Re: Suggestions for a more silent DAW?
I think it is a Scythe Big Shuriken. I didn't build this PC but from the looks of it and my research on the internet it looks like it might be. One HDD is in a removable bay which has a power off switch so that takes care of one. I did as you recommended (turn off hard disk after xx mins) and it hel...
