Is this Worth Watercooling?

[Overcklocked]

Hey i've decided on a sapphire hd 7970 vapor-x. what i think i'll do is i'll buy it and see if the the temps are to high for my liking... (70°C+) if they exceed that i'll probably watercool. does that sound like a decent plan?

also if/when i water cool them, could anyone suggest a nice looking waterblock? i like the look of the xspc 7970 raystorm style but i'm not keen on the transparent ones. (i'll be using Mayhem's aurora tharsis red, to match my MoBo and Ram)

If you can afford it and know how to install water-cooling parts without damaging the components go for it. Watercooling can cost allot of money. Looking at $100 for the gpu block, 200+ for the rest.

Do you reckon the vapor-x will be able to cope (well) with OC'ing?

yes if the case has good ventilation
