Adding an r9 290 to custom loop?

I'm currently using the larkooler skywater 330 watercooling kit to cool my cpu (http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6081/larkooler-skywater-330-liquid-cooling-system-cpu-cooler-review/index.html) and I want to add my r9 290 (not 290x) to the loop. I was wondering if any of you know if my rad can handle the extra tdp. Also, recommendations on a good block would be appreciated.

 

(My cpu is an amd fx 8350 at stock speed)

Maybe but it'll be tight, i reccomend you adding at least another 120 but i reccomend adding another 240MM rad.

Ok that scentence was quiet weird.

 

I would say No, add at least another 120MM rad, Preferably a 240.

Thanks for the advice, Luckily my 450d has a modular hard drive cage so i can fit another 240 rad on the floor.

I'd difenitly go with adding a additional 240 rad, although 120/140 would suffice. General rule thumb for watercooling is 240 for first block then 120 for each block after.
