Looking to Watercool just GPU's for now.

Hey guys,I'm a beginner in this entire WC scene and i would love if someone could point me in the right direction.

So i'm looking to Watercool my GPU the EVGA GTX 780 Classified edition card.

It's sitting on air right now and i'm wanting another for SLI.

Question i also have is before i buy another EVGA GTX 780 Classified should i buy http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-234-EA&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341 instead of a slandered version of a card then having to buy a backplate etc.

Was just wondering if you could point my in the right direction like parts to use for these cards etc.

My case is the Corsair Air 540 and already has a h100i installed.

Also any video links would be very grateful as i think i need all the help i can get.

Cheers guys in advance.

What bits are you needing, pump, res, blocks etc??

The hydro coppers are very good cards and can save some hassle, but to get your rig looking right and easier to set up you would need to get a standalone hydro copper block for your existing card.

Also configure your trust.

Put them on photobucket or other hosting size, then make sure they aren't to big for the forums, so 800x600 max. If you use imageshack.us it gives you an option to resize the image before uploading.
And EVGA hydro isn't your only option.
Check OCuk Techlabs section of the shop, it will have some cards with pre-installed blocks and some with Kraken AIO.
Or just read some guides and do it yourself.
It's not that hard. You don't get experience out of nothing.

Your pics don't work. Try imgur or photobucket instead

Have a look through this thread as well as Nick's build log for ideas on how to set things up in that case.

I'd recommend just getting another Classified and a couple of EK-780 Classy blocks for them. No stock here, but EK have a few left on their site.
I'd also recommend ditching the H100 and adding your cpu into the loop.

This.

Dump the H100 and spend a small amount on a CPU block and throw it in the loop. No point doing just GPUs if you are going to the trouble to install a custom loop.
