How much money would I be looking in U.S. dollars at to spend If I wanted to throw a GPU in a custom water cooling loop for as cheap as I could?  (rough estimate to give me idea :D )

It depends on what you already have?  You're looking at, what, like, $130 for a gpu waterblock, another $35 for backplate if you want it..   $16-20 for fittings.. After that it depends on what you already have for a water cooling loop.  You might need a more powerful pump or another radiator.. which could mean more fittings, more tubing, etc..

either stick with an AiO or save up $500 for a proper loop that isnt going to kill all your other parts

Cost wise for a quality loop your looking at close to $400 for a GPU only loop but at that point it would be a waste to not also include the CPU, for a single CPU and GPU loop it will be right around $500USD.
