With a CX psu, a GTX 660 and 8GB RAM I would rather invest my money into better components than a custom loop for your build.

what would you recommend

A GPU worthy of watercooling ( GTX 980 or above )

And a decent PSU.

If I were you I would upgrade the GPU to which one? It depends on what you plan on playing and what resolution you plan on playing it at.

600-700 AUD for gpu

150 MAX on psu

[Chronical93]

Well If you're only gaming at 1080p a gtx 970 should be fine get an OC one and you can get about the same performance as a 980ti. The price to performance would be better, but if you plan on doing 4k or even future games at ultra setting a 980ti is the way to go.

Can you afford a 980 or a 980Ti than?

i would have to find one that is on sale otherwise it would be way to expensive

Else a 970 would do fine too, but not on ultra settings.

[Chronical93]

Well then you'll definitely want to get a card with 4gb a VRAM, and at 1080p a 970 is a good choice. I personally have an EVGA 970 FTW and find it as an excellent card.

what psu do you have?

[Chronical93]

At the moment I have a 750w EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply, but I plan on upgrading to the g2 soon tho I haven't had any problems with the one I have. And I wouldn't get a 980ti If you can afford one why not but a good 970 that you can OC will come very close to performing like a 980ti.

[Chronical93]

In current games no here's a good read if you really want to know all the specifics.
