So I recently purchased MSI's Twin Frozr 7950 OC'd and while I love the card I'm realizing I'm just going to water cool the GPU since I'm currently building my own water cooling set up anyway. Eventually I'll have two 7950 card's as well. Now what I'm wondering is could I have purchased a cheaper 7950 card that doesn't come with as good a HSF cooling solution since I'm going to handle the cooling and overclocking myself? I've never done this with a GPU before so just wondering if most cards handle the same. Thanks!

Sorry I should have clarified better. Yes I do already have the card...however I still have two weeks to return it for a full refund with no restocking fee so I was wondering if there was a better option to go with. Before, I was going to rely on the stock cooling and the fact that MSI already OC'd it a little. However now that I plan to liquid cool I was wondering if there was a better OCing card or if they are all pretty much the same once you no longer rely on stock heat sinks and fans.
