In the middle of buying parts for my amd pc build, and the GPU I'm planning on buying is a radeon rx 5700, and I looked into the many rx 5700s and most of them have the founder style case where is only one fan at the tail end, and then it click to me, its a good idea to buy a gpu that has the one fan on the tail end? I know there's other brand rx 5700 with two and three fans, but they're a bit more expensive, and 'm trying to lower my total pc cost. I'm not planning on overclocking it or the games I'm playing doesn't required that much of gpu power, except for Fallout 4. Plus I'm buying a ultra wide IPS 1080p monitor too, even though the rx 5700 is a good gpu for 1440p, it probably won't push it self that hard. Should I suck it up and buy a gpu with an additional fan or its okay to have that founders case gpu?

One fan is not a problem, but one that doesn't push enough air past its heatsink is. That's the problem with the new blowers (single fan at the back), small heatsink in the card and small fan just translates into noise producing monster.

 

Yes, even if you run the 5700 at stock. If you dont mind the noise, get it. Otherwise, no.
