That would be nice but I don't have the space and the cost wouldn't be worth it when I already had those $5 heatsinks laying around. 

You don't have room? What all do you having going on in there?

THe block is pretty cheap, would be even easier given the backplate design. 

Get that backplate down to 30/35c, which would help that card out even more given the design flaw, also looks great.

I have a full size build in a compact scratch built case. the volume is 1 square foot.

If you fit those heatsinks, a waterblock would fit too.
