how many rads?

I am looking at moving over to water cooling in the near future.

I was wondering how many radiators is recommended for an i7 and dual graphics cards all oced.

I know there will be a minimum i.e. 1 120mm for each component but is the a drop off in effectiveness with too many and is there a sweet spot to aim for.

Cheers in advance.

I was looking at the corsair carbide 540.

Its a Nice case and can support a 240 on the roof and a 360 on the front, im sure one of the guys who has one will come along and advice you on a good setup for it, and there are a few build logs for it in that section you should have a look
