Why do you want to water cool those? Are they that hot? Are you overclocking them that much? A swiftech mcw60 would work but would certainly be a waste. You should concentrate on your CPU if any. What's your budget?

 should i keep to air cooled?? i plan to build up my comp so i was thinking in the future it might be better for me to have water cooled, the air flow in my case isn't great and my cpu was pushing 40 deg c, whilst playing company of heros. this is the first time i've really been paying attention to the heat so not really sure what sort of temp it should be kept to.

40C is not bad. You're video cards should be just fine (sounds like you're running stock anyway).

Save the money you would spend on Watercooling and get yourself a new VideoCard
