So I am looking at water cooling my build, and I am starting off with just water cooling my CPU. I would like to upgrade from just a CPU loop to a CPU and GPU loop with the same radiator. Can I do this with this radiator? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MBmxFT/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060021ww . Also, is this possible/effective? If you couldn't tell I'm quite new to water-cooling...

 

Edit: Or should I go with this loop and get a 120mm radiator for my GPU?

Why not go full custom? Rather than force an AIO to become semi custom

Isn't that really expensive? lol

Trying to cobble together an AIO then a gpu in the same loop just seems like a bad idea to me...

 

Why not get something like this:

And then add your  gpu waterblock when you are ready. 

 

This is basically a "custom loop" but in a kit. And EK is one of the better brands of water cooling stuff.

It always is with custom loops. If you ended up going with the h100i and adding a GPU to the loop you would end up with really high temps anyways since the pump sucks. There is a huge difference between the quality of custom vs AiO parts and that is why the price difference is large.
