Well I just put everything together in the case...i posted about a week and half ago about my setup and asking questions, well i got it all installed and love it! Now I want to cool my graphics card and as the title states I have an Nvidia GeForce Evga GTX 285FTW. I was thinking of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814998014&Tpk=evga%20cooling because it fits my card specifically. But I wanted to know if anyone has experience with one block or another that performs well. So any and all advice given is great! Thanks in advance

There are two ways to go about this and both work well. One is the full coverage block, like the one you posted or you can do a GPU block and a board specific heatsink assembly (all one piece).

Check out:

You'll find better blocks for less than the one you posted.
