Sorta depends, it's an older card, so spending the money on a FC block might not be worth it. Are you looking to go universal or FC, or do you not know the difference?

Full cover. Chances are i'll be riding it for a while since all i play is wow now.

I was considering modding a old H50 to it but i would rather just tie it into my loop.

Well, given that that's the case, check out skinneelab's gtx480 FC data, the 470 blocks are, for all intents and purposes, nearly identical to the 480 blocks.

I have the Koolancd 470 blocks. Been through mounts/dismounts a few times. Full block teardowns. Never gave me a bit of problems.

I have been happy with them since they came out.
