Are you looking at watercooling both 8800s as well?
Do you plan on running it externally or can your case fit the setup internally? If you plan on cooling those 8800's then I would recommend a dual loop or at least two rads.
Apogee GT (or GTX)
Swiftech MCP655
Black Ice X-Flow ProIII
Swiftech Micro-Res
7/16" Tubing
80% Distilled water, 20% Antifreeze
Should cost around 200$, you can add GPU blocks and another RAD once a good 8800GT block comes out (I don't actually know if the GTS/GTX blocks fit on the GT)
Thanks for your help
I herd that the swiftech blocks had a corrosion problem is this true also im planing on overclocking and have an sli motherboard do you think I should get cooling blocks for the sli chipsets as well?
Apogee GTnot good for quads (or GTX)
Swiftech MCP655
Black Ice X-Flow ProIII swiftech and or thermochill are better
Swiftech Micro-Res
7/16" Tubing
80% Distilled water, 20% Antifreeze

Corrosion problems are only with the apogee GTX with the aluminum top when you don't use corrosion inhibitors. Theres a huge thread over XS about this. If you're going sli then its probably a good idea to run a chipset cooler, but then again it depends on the board. Heres my recommendation for parts:
D-tek fuzion CPU
2x Swiftech MCR320
2x MCW60
MCP655/D5 (you can run two or one depending if you want dual loops)
MCW30
Also it all depends on how much you want to spend.
You dont need anywhere near that much antifreeze in your coolant, 5% is sufficient in a non mixed metal loop.Apogee GT (or GTX)

Thanks for all the help guys is this a good coolant I want a non conductive one just in case I get a leek

also is this a good reservoir http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2...120X_Reservoir_LARGE_-_UV_BLUE.html?tl=g30c97
