Hey guys, i am new to water cooling and this is really going to be my first time doing so. What i want to know is what size radiators will i need to keep the system cool. I will be overclocking both the 2 GTX 590's and the 2600k. All in all i just wanted to know the configuration where i can get the best cooling for the system.

Well you will need a big case, I would recommend a Large case that is able to fit an E-ATX Motherboard.
Depending on how much space you have I would go for two radiators from XSPC that can have 3x 120mm fans. The RX360 (3x120mm) Rad are perfect for performance and affordability. Or alternatively 280 Rad that can have 2x 140mm fans.
You will need an equally strong pump with a large reservoir. A dual loop like yours needs this.

thats kinda scary, dual 240s and a 120 in the cm 690 ii advanced?
if not you might have to go external with 2x360/420mm
if you dont mind modding i reckon you could fit a second 240mm rad in the floor of the 800/700 D with a 360mm in the roof

Thanks alot for your thoughts guys, they have truly helped me because i thought i would just easily get away with a 360 but now i know i will need a bit more than that.
Plus the case i will be using for this build will be the corsair 800D, i chose this case because it has lots of space to work with and generally i like most of its features.
