Do you really need water cooling??

[canus]

im updating my 1 grand computer and puting another grand into it. heres what i got:
1-ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard $79.30

2-BFG Tech BFGR79512GTXOCE Geforce 7900GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card $549.00

3-ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W Power Supply 90V~265V (Auto Adjusted) UL, cUL, TUV, CB $109.99

4-CORSAIR ValueSelect 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) System Memory $41.00

5- dual Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JB 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive $102.00

now with all these upgrades i was wondering if i need water cooling. i can see if you have dual P4s but why would you do that? P4s just make a s*** load of head and have the same performace as AMD. but whatever. i have a 80mm in my side window and a 120mm in the back. do i need more fans or what? whater cooling mabey? and this is all running for $881.29 if anyone can find a better deal on anything thad be cool.

A fan blowing into the case from the front would be a good addition. Just make sure you have a good flow through the case.
You likely do not NEED water cooling. You make no mention of overclocking.
The upgrades you have listed look fine.

You probably don't NEED watercooling. That generally is a WANT more than a NEED. With that AMD system I would use a Thermalright HSF and not have to worry about it. Or even the ThermalTake Big Typhoon. I have installed the TT BT on a 4000+, after I lapped the BT that is. The temps on that cpu were very nice, and the customer has been very happy with that system.

Just a note...you might need more power than 500w
