hey alpha,i don't know why you keep bringing up my 5970 problem,it has nothing to do with the OP's build.the only thing i was saying was that,a lone 660ti won't be enough to max out all games.and maran,just buy what alpha has said,because apparently he doesn't like it when all voices are heard.(maran,ivy's run hot,unless you live in siberia,i would advice you to get the antec cooler,it performs better than a H80 and you can program it's led todisplay any color you want,bling!)
The chart below summarizes the results with the stock fans (hotter temperatures towards the top of the chart, and cooler temperatures towards the bottom). The twin-fan coolers have a real advantage here, since their dual fans generally move more air than the stock single fan of any of the other units.

Coolit Vantage A.L.C. (extreme) 73.0 +11.2
Prolimatech Super Mega 67.2 +5.4
Antec Kühler H2O 620 65.9 +4.1
Corsair H70 (high) 65.3 +3.5
Thermalright Venomous X 63.0 +1.2
Thermalright Silver Arrow 61.8 +0.0
Cooler Master V6 GT 61.2 -0.6
With both of its 140mm fans connected directly to the computer's power supply and running at full speed, the Silver Arrow turns in amazing performance, edged out by less than 1 degree by the Cooler Master V6 GT. The minimal performance difference here is probably due to the V6 GT's high-speed fans, each of which is rated at 90CFM, as compared to the Silver Arrow's 69CFM fans. It's worth noting here that the V6 GT's fans are quite loud at full speed, whereas the Silver Arrow's fans are very quiet. Note the 5.8-degree "break" between the Prolimatech Super Mega and the Coolit Vantage A.L.C., neatly dividing the results into "high performance coolers" and "other coolers".

i did hysterics in that thread?thats certainly new.and i did not go blaming amd drivers so i don't know what you are getting at.the 5970 i currently own is only my first foray into the cfx world,and admittedly it hasn't been very pleasant,and i have also been enlightened in the process,certainly nothing to talk about.and about my earlier comment,i can't really prove the siberia part,but ivy's do run hot.The scorching heat prevalent in Indian summer season isn't going to help his OC.therefore,i consider buying a good WC cooler the most prudent option.A wc doesn't take as much space as a big air one.
