I'm building a case from scratch and this is the cooling loop that I came up with. Note that the side with the pair of 5870's is the max heat load that I'd likely put on that side. I left out the pumps and reservoirs to simplify the illustration. Yes, it's a dual system case.

Whether or not that radiator will be sufficient comes down to what radiator you buy. If it is one of those thick ones, then you can get away with 4 medium to high speed fans, or possibly 8 low to medium speed fans. If its a thinner one with high FPI (fins per inch), then you may need 8 medium to high speed fans. Of course, this all depends on which radiator you end up getting.
