XSPC RX360 enough for CPU/GPU ?

Would a XSPC RX360 kit and be enough to cool a 2500k @ 4.5ghz and a gtx570 or would I need something bigger. Or two rads maybe? Might be adding another gpu later.
 
depends, if you are going to be folding 24/7 it might not be enough, but if you are just using it for normal use and gaming the RX rad will probably cover it. I Have the RS360 and a black ice 120 for my loop with a i7 920 @ 4.2ghz 1.375 vcore and a GTX 480 @ 850mhz. The temps can get up there if I'm putting heavy stress on the system, but it will stick around 70-72.

If you are going to add another another GPU later you might want to go with more rad. That might overpower the system.

I think you should be fine for the cpu and gpu, but if you add another another gpu to the loop, Like ShortAlieN said you will want to pick up another rad. But it will also depend on your pump and other parts of your loop, will the pump support a thick rad, cpu and gpu, if so great, but then you have to figure out if your going to upgrade it later will the pump support 2 rads, cpu and 2 gpus....

I think the 2500K actually runs cooler than a 920, plus the RX is a lot thicker than the RS version, and can dissipate more heat from the loop even with lower rpm fans.

But that is just my 2 cents worth, good luck and hope this helps.
