SO! I'm looking into watercooling my CPU and GPU and I've been looking around Corsairs and EKWB's configurators, but they seem to add a lot of things I don't really need or want - I have 6xEK Vadar RGB fans already - but I can't seem to remove them from the config, same with Corsair. Also, they don't seem to have a full cover full block for my graphicscard - disappointingly... 
So now I'm asking a much smarter, much more communitative "configurator" - you guys!

I'd like to do both CPU and GPU in the loop. Not anything else - RAM, SSD, MOBO or whatever they've come up with otherwise. 

The parts are:
Gigagyte Aorus 1080ti (non-extreme version)
Gigabyte Aorus x570 Elite
Ryzen 7 3700X
In the Lian-Li O11 Dynamic (non-xl)

For both looks and performance, I'd like a 360 rad, but what am I buying and from where? (if it even can be done for the 1080ti by now, with new parts)

Ekwb can get you covered for the gpu waterblock, you can use 2 360 rads in your case without any problems (360pe is a solid choice) you might also need a vertical gpu bracket due to the fact that the gpu waterblock is a bit too big for o11d and in order to make it fit you have to use a gpu vertical mount and a riser cable.

to get maximum performance set the radiator fans as intake and all the others as exhaust. You can always look at my buildlog to see how I’ve done it
