yes you want an aftermarket cpu cooler. The stock one will get the job done but its loud and you cant Overclock much with it. Get a better one, you at least appreciate a quieter system I hope.

If you're loaded with cash, water cool your gpu's. I probably wouldn't though. Also, why did you do two 760's that's terrible. Instead, buy one 780; you will get much better performance, because not all games support sli and the 780 is just better.

Yeah that's what I thought too, but standard 2 way SLI 760's beat 780TI in performance look here: http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?page=2&itemid=1168
And since this is a superclocked 4gb acx 760 each, it definitely beats it and for less money.
and around how much would it be for liquid GPU cooling? Thanks for the superfast response!
