Hello everyone, I recently got my r9 290x's and they're HOT. I'm not planning to water cool my whole pc in the next few months, tell me what you guys think of the parts I'm thinking about using. My budget is around $300 to $400 and not a penny more, my original budget was around $200 lol. Also, I was thinking about using a $40 dollar car rad instead of x2 $70 rads and just having it run externally.

They're running at 95* which is they're intended temp but the performance is throttling because it's a reference card do I don't think thermal paste would make a difference. I'll probably custom make x2 gpu blocks. Other than the gpu blocks does everything else look ok?
