How much radiator is enough?

First, a little background on my system:

E8500 (dual core 3.16Ghz)
2x Radeon 5770's (will be run at 100% for distributed computing)

Will a dual 120mm radiator be sufficient until I can raise the funds to get a triple 120?
 
I agree, more rad is allways better but if not looking for bragging rights temps or very quiet operation and you push enough air through it, it is absolutely astounding how much heat even a single 120 (not recommeded at all in your application due to the 100% load dual cards) will dissipate. With what you are doing I would recommend doing whatever it took to get as much rad as you can.
 
if you or someone you know has a junked car you can convert the radiator from it. Should be sufficient for any type setup you may have.
