AIO or Custom Loop

If you check out my PC Partpicker list I plan to crossfire 7870 XTs as they have a reaalllyyy good price for peformance ratio (the XFX one is cheaper than a 7870 ??? ) but there seem to be absolutely no waterblocks for them :/ I've noticed that they are however compatible with the Arctic Accelero Hybrid closed loop solution, personally I don't trust myself enough to fill up a custom loop but I was willing to try it to cool my gpu.

 

Do you think I should get the Accelero and get something like a h80i and have my CPU and GPU watercooled easily no maintenance or go for a custom loop ? My only concern is that the universal waterblocks generally look really ugly compared to the Accelero Hybrid and it'd be a lot easier.

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

well you'd need quite a bit of space right next to your GPUs and cpu,because the tubing on those AIO's is pretty short.

 

so you'd need 3x 120mm spaces that can have radiators mounted on them......

Bitfenix Merc has a side pannel fan intended for GPU cooling that's 240mm big so that's checked (it's got enough space for 2x120mm but it's never used due to air flow being cut off to graphics cards but this makes that irrelevant) and the there are two seperate 120mm fan spaces on the top of the case for the cpu.
