Bought Alien Isolation at bargain price off Steam yesterday. 12 hours game time so far. I'm quite enjoying the sneaking. I'm happy with the price I paid; I don't think it is worth the release price.

The new graphics card (MSI GTX970 4G) is freaking incredible. Not for the graphics performance but for the lack of noise. After 15 minutes of Furmark the fans are running at 78% and I can't hear the card fans over the cpu fan (which is the standard 120mm fan that came with the Thermalright cooler). The side of the case doesn't have a cover and there are no case fans running. I have ordered a Noctua 120mm fan which has a claimed noise of 9 dB. This is marketing blurb, I didn't see testing set up mentioned but even so I am hoping my pc will be next to silent when playing games.
