So in the future, I want to water cool my entire system in a loop and I want to know if a water block would fit on my GPU even with a water block that is made for my exact model. So I have a GTX 1070 G1 Gaming and there is a slight bend or curve on the PCB of the card and I am wondering if that will be a problem if I wanted to place a water block on the GPU. 

If I wanted to water cool my system with one CPU, GPU, radiator, pump, and tubing as cheap as possible how much would I be looking at?

It shouldn't be a problem wince the waterblock will be screwed down with enough tension to straighten the board. Upload a pic of the bent card if you can, just to satisfy my own curiosity.

When in doubt, re-format.

I opened the thread before the image finished uploading I guess. I see no noticable bend at all on your graphics card. You're good to go.

When in doubt, re-format.

I know it might be hard to see but on the PCB of the card look between the Gigabyte logo and the fan stop light

No, I see what you are referring to. It is nothing.

It only bends because of poor design and it being an air cooler. Blocks don't bend. May sag at the PCI slot itself though.
