Custom Water Loop

Hey, it's my first time building a custom water look for my new PC and I wanted to get some opinions on the radiator size I should get. 

 

I will be cooling both my i5-4690k and GTX 970. I want to get some moderate overclocks on it and I had planned for 2x 240 rads. It will be in a NZXT H440. Are two 240 rads good? Too much? Too little?

I would say a single 360 if you can do it... that way you still have some room left, but it'll fill nicely in the front.

The projects never end in my line of work.

Length over thickness. In my H440 I have a 360x30 in the top and a 240x45 in the front.
