Hello, all!

I've compiled a somewhat modest parts list and I'd like to know if I need to use water cooling with the graphics card or if I should be fine with the fans I have listed.  If I need water cooling for any parts, especially the graphics card, it'd be great if you could give me a shout.

A warning of compatibility issues would be much appreciated as well.  I'm trying to keep the grand total under $1500 USD.

Here's the link to the list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cBGpt6
The exact name of the graphics card:  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 4GB ACX 2.0 Video Card

Thanks in advance.

No, you won't need watercooling, the ACX Cooler is quite good for overlcoking and EVGA Support is formiddable. Watercooling your GPU will give you little yield for your money.
