Vantec makes great HSF's the Vantec Iceberg 4. For Ramsinks I'd definatly recommend Tweakmonster Standard Ramsinks.

Yes, that Vantec is supposed to be really good make sure you put some AS3 on there too.

There's really no limit for "best". If you're feeling particularly crazy, you can even epoxy a CPU heatsink onto your card (ex. an SK-6+, which only costs $10 by the way). Of course, then you'll lose about 2 or 3 PCI slots, so you will have to make some compromises.

Haha, an SK6 that would be good. I'd like to see how a card fares with the stress of all that weight on it. Also, I don't think he wants to go insane on his card, it's only a G4MX :). Although paying more for card cooling than the card itself is kind of funny...And yea, definatly use AS3 to put it together.
