Quick question
I'm thinking of getting this VGA Waterblock for my 8800GT, and on a review it said I had to have RAM and MOSFET heatsinks, is that true? I didn't want to spend an extra $30 on heatsinks I didn't think I needed.
Thank you for your time.

Yeah if you have ram and mosfets on your GPU you will need them, the Swifty 60 is just a core block, its a good block and doesn't dump the ram heat into your loop..

What If I don't have them? Will it overheat?

Yes, you need something (heatsinks) on the ram, otherwise, don't expect it to last long.
