My specs are: Asus Rampage V, dual 980ti, 1000w power supply a full tower case, and an Intel i7 5960x. I would prefer to air cool but I'm not sure if air cooling can handle this setup. I do not mind noise and I don't want to have to worry about maintaining a loop. Can anybody give any suggestions on which I should get and few products that would cool my pc sufficiently?
 
Solution
I use a horizontal motherboard when looking at 'big air' It is safer and easier to transport, so long as the system is kept upright. That's one of the big advantages of 'cuboid' cases and with traditional motherboards, I tend to use lower profile downflow cooler, to help cool the RAM and VRMs, and reduce the torque on the motherboard.
