I'm running an SG01 mATX case on these stats:

a64 2x 4400+
7800GTX 256
msi 6150/430 mATX
ocz modstream
g.skill pc3200 2x 1gb
maxtor diamond max 9

Right now I'm basically running stock cooling before I install my watercooling. With the way my radiator is set up, I have two 120mm panaflos drawing outside air through the rad and blowing directly onto my 7800gtx. I'm contemplating whether or not I actually need watercooling with so much air concentrated over my card. I was thinking I might even be able to get away with a passive solution for my card since I have so much airflow through the case. What do you guys think? Would watercooling really help much since I have so much air going over the card? (Keep in mind that the rad will dump heat, I'll have to run 3/8" tubing or smaller because I have to make a 180 degree bend in 2.5", and that I'm running a small form factor system)
