I want to watercool my 2080ti and i5-8600k, looked at some videos about the installation of the block on the founders edition and found the type of block they used. 

Block: https://amzn.to/2Bylmyo

Backplate: https://amzn.to/2zrNu58

 

I was wondering what type of radiators i should get and if anyone could recommend me any kits for me to buy. or any other type of help would also be appreciated

What type of budget are you working with for this. 500-800 is easy to spend on a full custom loop. Other things of importance... do you want it mostly silent or are you okay with some noise? What case are you using?What motherboard?

my current build. i imagine ill have to change the case to a larger one which is fine, i have the i5-8600k clocked to 4.7

as for my budget im hoping to hover around 500-1000, noise doesn't bother me but the quieter the better. I just want lower temps than the 84C im getting OC my gpu.

Well that will def happen. It should be in the mid 40's or so after.

So assuming you go with a bigger case like the View 71... then this would be what the loop would look like.

You already have the gpu block so shave off $155 there. You also can shave off another 50-60 if you don't go with the RGB pump/res combo and just get a plain version. I would also probably drop their tubing and the coolant they supply and just go with Primochill tubing and use their liquid utopia for my loop. That will cost you 20-25 instead of the 35ish here. You can get cheaper fans, but the ones here will give you plenty of airflow while also being silent.
