I was thinking about making a build with a custom water loop in it and I was wondering if it would be hard to add a second graphics card into the loop later down the line if I wanted to upgrade.

Here is the build https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/nZswwV 

It will be the first time I will be making a custom loop.

wont be too hard, you would have to redo the area around the GPUs but thats about it probably

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Yeah, adding an extra gpu is very easy.

It's not very difficult you would need some extra fittings and a second block. If your doing hardline tubing though you will need to make some new sections of tube.

Might not even need extra fittings if they used a terminal

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

Adding a second GPU down the line is easy. But have you thought about getting an EK aluminum kit? The P280 doesn't come with a GPU block, so you'd have to add about 90 quid for that, so you're at almost 400 bucks for a loop with a single 280 rad. With the aluminum A240G kit you get everything you need for the price of the P280 and you can throw in an additional 360 rad with fans and fittings for less than the copper GPU block would cost.
