Watercooling my 2080 Gaming X Trio

I am planning on getting a MSI 2080 Gaming X Trio for my Ryzen 2700x build and was thinking about watercooling. I have two questions regarding watercooling my GPU. First would be if it is even an option on my third party MSI card. In other words is there a water block available that would be compatible with my gpu? The second question is if it is even worth the money and time to water cool regarding my needs? I use my computer to game (mainly at 1080p and medium graphics), for programming and for compiling said programs, light streaming,video recording and editing ( mainly at 1080p 60 frames and at a 16 000 bit rate on obs) and also some small graphic design on Adobe illustrator and Inkscape.  Any advice and hell would be much appreciated!!

None of the uses you described calls for a 2080 imho.  Find a good used 1080.

Very few waterblocks exist for any triple fan cards. I just checked EKWB's configurator, and they don't have a block for that card.
