There is fanless GT520 card, not expensive. I hope it will work
with "nv". No real need for something more than basic graphics.

What I still cannot decide is what cpu to get. I read reviews for
bulldozer and find nothing thrilling. Guys are mostly gamers. On
the other side, whatever i buy, gonna suffice. How about fx 8120 ?
I like to have multicore (is there one core nowadays), but cold.
Seems that I cannot wait for next generation to show up.
Best regards
