xt45 with push/pull will be better than the EK SE.   The EK SE and Vardars would look better though imo and would handle a single GPU fine

Seriously another which rad question? This is the 3rd one I've read asking the same thing. Decide on your rad then buy fans to suit the size and fan density and ensure they have high static pressure

What are you cooling? that's the real question, If its just a cpu then yea the ek rad and fans will be fine.
