Would any of the XSPC/EK 280mm Radiator kits support a 4930K and a single GPU? or is it not enough?

it depends temps you want. a 280 might be able to do it depending on the gpu i would reccomend atleast two radiators though, one for each gpu or cpu

Don't get a kit, pick out your own separate parts.

Make a thread here and people can help you do it.

 

i'm not the one building it, the shops here in the Philippines have people who can build it for you, so no worries only maintenance on my part which i think i can handle..or i can always go for a closed loop AIO cooler

I have a 4770k and a 780 on water and I'd recomend at LEAST 4x120 worth of rad if you want to be able to keep fan and pump speeds down. Dont skimp on the pump, get a D5 variant.

alright

The maintenance could be worth it. Really it's only refilling the loop and replacing tubing once a year. The amount of extra performance could be worth it to you. It's definitely something to think about.
