My video card is PCI x16. As far as cooling, I just have the one intake fan, and I'll be installing a fan on the back of the case tonight. I don't have water cooling. I'm not sure totally how that little pipe thing works on my motherboard. I'm guessing it just takes heat over to the other heat exchanger, and that just helps it dissipate more heat. My video card probably isn't the best out there, but it's working well so far for me. We will be doing some basic video editing, which was the purpose I built this. And if the video card becomes a weak point, well I will upgrade. But I figured I'd give this one a shot. Thanks for the compliments so far! I'm guessing most of the people on this site could build one of these. I'd say if you think you can build your own, then go at it. Just takes a little research to figure out what parts to pick out. And the assembly is cake!
