water-cooling setup for GTX 770 2GB SC ACX ??

hey guys, i'm thinking about upgrading my gpu's cooler to a water cooler, likewise with my cpu. 

Do any of you guys have any recommendations for what parts to buy, i.e.; reservoir, waterblocks etc. Everything basically.

 

My current rig;

 corsair c70 case (white)

 i5 4670k @ 4.5Ghz

 h100i

 2GB EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX

 HX 850

8GB corsair vengeance ram @ 2133Mhz

z87 Sabertooth

 

BUDGET: unsure how much everything will cost, but i'd be willing to spend up to £200 which is about 320 USD i think.

 

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated  xD

thanks in advance

EVGA has a water block for their GTX 770 which looks really nice. I would plan on increasing your budget, from what I've spec'd out I've seen a minimum of ~$500 for a horribly cheap water cooling loop. 

I'm sure someone would prove me wrong, but if you want a dependable setup for both your CPU and GPU I would increase your budget.

CORSAIR AIR 540 | CORSAIR AX1200i | GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD7 REV 3.0


AMD 8350 Vishera 5.0GHz @ 1.525V | CORSAIR H100i Push/Pull | CORSAIR VENGEANCE 32GB  DDR3 1600Mhz


KINGSTON HYPER 3K 120GB (2) RAID 0 | SEAGATE BARRACUDA 1.5TB (4) RAID 5 | EVGA GTX 770 4GB FTW ACX (SLI) | CORSAIR AX1200i

I would say that if your doing a costume loop you would need around 600$ for a nice loop.

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

There is no way you can do a GPU and CPU loop for £200, that's just about enough for a CPU only loop. I have made a "cheap as possible" loop in the FAQ, around section 2.8 if you look there.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

It's pretty evident I'll have to up the budget. Would you say it's possible to achieve a gpu only loop for £2-300. (500usd)?
