I assume the motherboard model is P55-GD65 ? (PCI Express)
You can search using the Newegg video card advanced search, and specify
"no fan". That will speed up your search a bit. Here is a 9400GT for
example, without a fan.

This would be an example at the other extreme. A fanless 9800GT card for $130.
I might place a case fan next to this, to keep the temperature down.
