So I was wondering, will this XION Onyx with 2 x 120mm Fans and 1 x 140mm LED Fan be efficient enough cooling for my Core 2 Duo e6750 and e-GeForce 8800GT as well as the rest of my components?
Yes, the cooling setup on that case is more than adequate.

Use the stock CPU heatsink, it's designed to work with your particular CPU. Besides, if you don't use the stock heatsink you'll void the 3 year warranty on the CPU.

The power supply will have it's own fan(s) so it's taken care of. The case cooling will handle the 8800GT.
