780 Cooling?

[RICKST20]

Got my birthday coming up! So I'm on the hunt to watercool my GPU. It will be replacing a single, reference cooled 780.
Looking at this selection here, can anyone of you see any immediate problems with this?
A full loop is out of the question as i wont have the budget for it!
I have 120mm fan mounts near enough to mount the rad.
Is it enough?
Is there anything i should consider here like VRM cooling etc?
Or should i go for a decent air cooler instead?

Any info or help would be great!
Thanks

Thanks for the info!
Iv been doing a lot of research on this, and its looking like Nvidia vrm's increase in temps using this bracket. So heat sinks are a must! I'm struggling to find small enough ones to fit the small vrm's though!
Im just wondering if the stock passive cooling plate will remain in place. As a kind of bridge between finding some small enough heat sinks.

Failing that. What am i looking at for a decent air cooler? Iv never bought a new cooler to date so I'm kind of at a loss as to what is good!

I just know this card has a lot more to give, but those damn temps are holding it back using a stock cooler!
