Don't take this as an attack; I'm curious why you actually need an 8000 series card, and why you need water cooling on your present card?
I have a single, stock cooled, non-OC 5770, and can run pretty much every game on maximum settings (or rather, any game that doesn't choke on AMD GPUs). Why would you need much more, unless you're using your GPU for calculation, or mining bitcoins or something? I used to be a big graphics bleeding-edger, but thanks to everything being tied to ancient console hardware, I pretty much stopped caring. Early in the next console generation I'm sure I'll grab a decent 6000 or 7000, or maybe hop to Nvidia,, I'm getting a bit sick of bad support and game bugs, though it would pain me, I've been using ATI and AMD exclusively for over a decade (Actually since 3DFX crapped out, something about underdogs, and not being Intel).
After "hardcore" PC games died off, it was about not having to upgrade for years, but even then, now my aging 5000 series is perfectly fine. The only motivation I can think of is just pure masochistic (I mean it in a nice way) geekery. Because I can.
