Well knowing my luck recently, it won't be 
Ok, cheers, I think I'll go for that one then (assuming this one doesn't work - but you never know).

I'm not own 480 at this time but as far as i know 480 made noticeable noise in full load. So may be you can consider water cooled like this version
they ran this card full load within 40-60C
For how much is your PSU you can come by some PSU provider site for make your match
Even you can take silence case which quiet and a bit hot.

Thank's for those links, that one with the PSU calculator was very handy
I've already ordered the card, in fact it arrives today so fingers crossed. According to that PSU calculator, I'm just 6W under if I use the advanced tab, and 24W under if I use the Standard tab. I'm thinking I just might get away with it using my 500W after seeing that.
Regards the noise; I already think I'm in for a bit of a shock after seeing a few videos on youtube, especially this one.
And the PSU, I mean Hitler had a 750W and even that exploded according to him:
