If you own a P5K-D board you can mount the HR-03+ so that the HS/fan is above the NB and only have to sacrifice the stupid wireless card and there is no difference in temps doing so other than keeping the back of the card a little cooler.
Also, if you plan on OC'ing your GPU you'll run into problems with the VF1000. After installing mine I kept getting freezes in games until I backed down to stock clocks--I had zero problems w/ that OC (in sig) and the HR-03+. Why spend all that money on a HS if it won't allow you to overclock? Further, no offense here, the RAM sink is not worth the money. Get some copper sinks instead and bend the fins for clearance.
