Welcome to the forums ^_^
What are your goals for the system? That will give you a stable cooling solution, but you will not have the best performance on high overclocks. For a $25 radiator, check out DTek's scratch&dents section for a procore. As it is, it is a decent, quiet budget system that will give you fairly reliable cooling. If you are looking for max overclocking, you'll likely need to upgrade the waterblock and/or pump.

From what I've gathered... there are only 2 waterblocks available for the 6800 series. You would want the DangerDen one - at $120.
Aaaand... there's always a 'need' to overclock! Even a Ferrari Enzo could always use an extra 20 horsepower ^_^. The way I see it, if your system *could* go faster... go for it. I could go spend $2,500 on the absolutely highest performing system... and push it faster. That's the beauty of overclocking... making things go faster than they should. If you and your buddy go out and bought identical 'premier' systems, Athlon FX-53s, 6800 Ultras... etc... and you could push yours an additional 5%, you would come out ahead.
