Minimum rad size advice

Hiya

Im looking into cooling my 5970 and my i5 in a single loop. I have a d5 with res top so just really looking for rads.

Im thinking a triple would do but my case is gonna be the let down there but I can deffinately get a 240 and a 120 in it no problems.

Will that be enough??

The case I have is the Corsair 500R and I dont really want to mod it.

Cheers

A decent triple will easily be enough

Eg, SR-1/PA/RX/EX

Yea thats what I thought but a triple aint gonna happen so im gonna go for a 120 and a 240. Its just space in the case and I dont wanna go external for the rad fitting.

I will fit the two rads with fans in push / pull so im thinking cooling will be ok and with the d5 I can change the power of the pump so flow restriction shouldnt be to bad.
Gonna grab me all nickel and acetal blocks to so its gonna look the part.
