My eVGA 7800GTX w/ a Maze 4 worked perfectly with OCZ Copper ramsinks. No issues whatsoever.
If you can kind of see in the 2nd picture you can tell the location and height of the actual sinks and the waterblock position.

Wait a minute. I noticed that you are using the 512MB edition of the 7800gtx. On that note, you may have to do some modifying of the actual sinks. I will have to let someone else chime in on the 512 edition ram positioning.

I use the Zalman sinks, no issues what soever.
They come with a short set of 4 (for the bottom) and tall set of 4 (for the top)

The new Swiftech ramsinks are excellent. Also good are the Vantec IceBerg ramsinks and the OCZ ramsinks.
What irks me about running ramsinks in a WC rig is the how it partly defeats the purpose of going wet to begin with! How do you cool those ramsinks unless you have good airflow over them, which equals noise, plus more heat being dumped into the case...?

Dont be nervous at all. Cooling my 7800GTX was the single most beneficial factor of the entire water cooling kit. Preliminary air temperatures on my card were 46 idle/ 69 load.
After adding the Maze 4 I amazingly dropped temperatures down to 31*C(software limited) idle and 36*C Load. Worth the risk if you ask me.

Just do NOT epoxy the sinks on. I've seen many a person kill their card by epoxying the sinks on instead of sacraficing like .1C diff for the ability to remove the sinks.
