On Average, how much is it to add water cooled to PC

I take it you'd looking to do a custom loop?

Check out the bundles for a basic loop and add a few extra fittings, pipe and a GPU waterblock.
 
EVGA I'm sure will do a hybrid kit for the Titan X, which will be a damn sight cheaper and less labour intensive than doing a full custom loop. Obviously temps wont be quite as good, but given you are already using an AIO on cpu, chucking another in on gpu is probably the most cost effective and simplest method.

I have a hybrid on way for 1080 which was around £130.

To put that in context last time I done a custom loop I easily spent over £500.

But as to your question as to how much for a custom loop - how long is a piece of string?
 
Hardline tubing will cost you more, looks better imho than the bendy stuff and is more fun to build up.

First you want to work out how much rad space your case has and work around that.

You'd be looking at for a gpu only loop (although tbh when you start building you'll prob end up wanting the cpu in the loop as well) these bits and bobs (prices are approx as not built one for a year):

Pump + res combo = £80-100
Gpu block=£75
Bracket for pump/res=£12
Tubing=£15
Fixings (case dependent)=£35ish
Rad (240/360 fine for single/sli gpu, esp pascal)=£50-70
Heatgun for tubing=£15
Insert for tubing=£5
Coolant (all in one or dist water+biocide)=£15
Fans for rads=£12 each


Or get one of those pre filled EK loop jobbies, saves a load of hassle.

Def work out what space your case has, also bare in mind its hard to plan a layout for a custom loop without having the blocks/res/pump in-situ and then order your fixings, so expect your pc to be out of action for a week or two. Don't skimp on the pump, petg tubing is better than acrylic.
 
Can be quite expensive, expect around £200 for a full loop.

TBH unless your doing mega overclocks it's not really worth it any more. Many of the high end CPU air coolers are almost as good now for daily use. I recently took my loop out because I just didn't think it was worth the hassle of flushing it every few months and the risk of leaks. I replaced it with air coolers (inc. a 120mm fan mount for the GPU I made myself) and it's just as quiet.

Case is a Corsair 750D and my CPU is water cooled by a GTX H100i

Easiest option, with less hassle and relative less cost than full blown customer WC, get a EK Predator 360 and the pre-filled waterblock for the Titan X (Pascal).
(Make sure you buy the Pascal Titan X block not any Titan X block). That will set you back around £300

And you shouldn't care about the cost of watercooling, if you bought a £1100 Titan...........
