Alright, hardware problems, please help:

Problems:
I want:
  • an HTPC form factor; reasonably sized (fits in my ikea media shelf, < 55cm wide by < 25cm tall by < 40cm deep)
  • something quiet; my current swiftech dual pump thing is too loud.
  • to spend less than $500 CAD (~$400 USD)
  • a graphics card that will run Diablo 4 on SteamOS decently
so the poll is:

Solution 1: Air cooling, new GPU; purchase a new GPU and an air cooler for existing CPU.
Solution 2: Air cooling, existing GPU; purchase a "for parts" radeon RX 5700 XT, cannabilize its cooler, buy a new air cooler for existing CPU
Solution 3: existing liquid cooling; buy a new pump and reservoir, and **a case I know in that i put in the comments**
Solution 4: new 240mm radiator, pump, reservoir, and one of the HTPC cases that will fit it
