Is it gaming you use your rig for. Seems like a relatively low end gpu to be.going to the bother of cooling. Maybe flog your gpu and put 120 with the funds, grab a 6870 or second hand 6950 and use the other 130 to water cool the CPU?

Much better idea!

Water cooling a 5830 is pointless, utterly pointless.

aye changed the 59 to 68 and 69 series as they should be attainable second hand, the improvemant would be night and day id think.

shop around the net for the EK supreme lt 120 kit, everything you need bar the distilled water.
that should give you leaway to work with the GPU
