If you're going to be getting two AIO's for your GPU and CPU, you may as well buy a custom loop kit, which would cost slightly more than the two AIO's but deliver much better performance.

wait for corsairs gpu watercooling bracket and get an aio like the x41 for your 290 if you dont want to go for a custom loop.

You definitely want to get liquid cooling for the CPU air cooling is really bad in the H440.
