after buying 2 new gpu coolers i now notice the air is no longer ejected out the back of the case, so im now left with cpu temps getting quite abit higher, im using the freezer pro 13.

Is the corsair water cooling coolers any good?

if i cant find a suitable one i have 2 other options

A. stick stock coolers back on
B. sell the gtx 470s for something cooler as standard
 
Whats the airflow in the rest of the case like? How many front intakes have you got?

The corsair water coolers are quite good yes, though i've not used any big air coolers, as i don't have the space.
 
2 x 140mm at front intake - pretty **** though standard case fans
2 x 120mm on side direct onto gpu - coolmaster fans, best fans within price to shift most air
1 x 120mm rear exhaust - unbranded but decent airflow
2 x 120mm top exhaust - akasa , pretty **** airflow , silent is more there strong point

I have the Corsair H100 and it's very good. You need a roomy case to fit it though, like the Corsair 650D, as the rad is 122mm x 275mm x 27mm. If room is an issue, the H80 has a smaller but thicker rad which can be mounted easily on the rear exhaust in most cases (as far as I know).
 
A water unit can be an option. It will ensure your GPUs wont affect your CPU cooling since it draws air from the outside directly. But you will still need to keep the case temps down with good airflow.

Usually, one or two 140/120mm intake.
One or two 140mm roof exhaust.
H80 / H2O 920 / Whatever at the back sucking air.
BTW if your cards exhaust in the case, you may be better off with the side fans exhausting.
