Radiator differences?

So I'm thinking about getting into to water cooling but I don't have a lot of cash, is there a difference between a CPU radiator and a gpu Radiator or will they both work?

I know stupid question, but hey if I don't ask I might waste money.

Uh, there is no such thing as a "CPU radiator" or "GPU radiator"...

If you don't have a lot of money then buy an AIO, or stick to air cooling.

A radiator is a radiator, it s the CPU or GPU blocks you want to concern yourself on.  Google Jayz2cents

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

A loop from one of the big companies will cost you about $400.  Are you super keen on a custom loop?

Thank you

Quick note, just checked on pump and its not compatible with tubing.  Find a pump that accepts 5/16 Inner diameter tubing.

 

@Enderman would appreciate input on the little list I put together, OP seems to want to do this for fun but is it a craptastic waste of money?

Stop trying to build a cheap loop.

If you can't afford $400+ for good quality parts then you should use an AIO or air cooling.

 

Otherwise you might as well throw your PC in a bathtub to save yourself time.
