Looking for a water coller for my RTX 2080 Ti

A waterblock that fits the card and a radiator that will cool the card? Can't be more specific than that without knowing what else is in your system and if you want that under water too.
In any event, the first port of call would be to find a block that A: fits the card, and B: is still available to buy because your card is a few years old now. Overclockers, for example, do not have anything for RTX 2000 listed.

EK sell a fullcover block that will fit and is around 100 euro. no idea bout stock in the UK.
you would need a minimum of a pump, reservoir and radiator with tubing and fittings. a 240mm radiator would be enough for the card alone, a 360 if you want to cool your cpu as well. which rad configuration depends on your case.

I was thinking an AIO, there will be an OcUK Tech Labs Asetek 690LS 360m for the CPU so logicallly another AIO is what I thought. The part I would be concered about is would a 240mm AIO 'fit' straight out the box?
The case will be the iCUE7000.

AIO coolers for gpus in my experience are a little hit and miss. The NZXT G10/G12 that allows the use of any Asetek round block cpu cooler (e.g. H55) means you are only water-cooling the gpu die itself. You then need to put mini heatsinks on the RAM chips and - again, in my experience - the heatsinks fall off very quickly. Ever thermal adhesive tape I've ever tried has been worse than useless. I have a 1070 with a 280mm AIO and the gpu temps are incredibly good but the card basically only does foldng@home which barely uses any VRAM. I wouldn't recommend AIO gpu cooling if the VRAM is going to be stressed in any way..
You don't need to put mini heatsinks on if there is a fan directly blowing directly on to the components. I didn't have a single one added to my 2080ti and it ran and overclocked like a champ.
