Would water cooling on this rig intel q6600, 4gb of ram, and 2 8800gt (plus all the other randoms) Be necessary I could only afford the CPU cooling. Also how hard is it to switch out CPUs and what if i wanted to upgrade it to VGA cooling as well? is there any maintenance involved with them. Thanks for answering. 
Pentium 2
128MB of RAM
No GPU
and a 30GB HD

And you wondered why I registered lol (those specs are not a joke)

Given the selection of 2 8800's, the minimum for cooling I would look at would be:

750
liquid cooled CPU
special request for 3x 120mm Scythe S-Flex fans for case cooling, including 5.25" bay mod

-or-

850
stage 3 air cooling

Liquid cooling does require some maintenance, but it's very minimal. It's a sealed system that requires a refill maybe once every couple of years, and the normal cleaning of dust from the radiator(s). You would want to install a new cooling loop for two VGA cards. You'd be better off with aggressive air cooling than to run all of those components on a single liquid cooling loop.
