I assume this is because the existing rads can dissipate the 300W of heat well already?
Bingo. He won't push 300 watts with CPU( not even 200 watts). With 2 x 7970's and CPU highly overclocked and overvolted, a 3770 plus 2 x 7970's can push 700 watts at full tilt but that's max 100% stress on all components. He won't come close to that. Maybe he will push 550-600 watts and I would think that is pushing it. Plus, he isn't even listing what CPU he is going to use. That is what is killing me with him wanting 3 rads.
