This is my current loop

I've finally sourced a block for my card and it's going in next week once its here. Whilst I've got the loop drained I want to try and improve it as much I can. As it stands right now I have 2 240 rads, one is an XPSC (not sure the model) the other is a cheap larkkool one, both with 2 akasa piranhas on them. My temps arent that great, I hit 45 under load and I'm worried with the GPU added they'll get hotter making me have to run my fans louder.

Any ideas where the best bet to improve temps would be? I appreciate any pointers. :)

I'm also changing up my cpu to a 3930k too but doubt that'll make too much difference.
 
I just feel like 45 under load on a total of 2 240 rads is a tad high.

As you can see a thicker rad in the front is a no go sadly that 780ti classy is just so long. Although I can make it a 360 so might grab a 360 instead.

What fans would you recommend? Don't really want to be spending an arm and a leg on fans tbh.
 
I have a fan controller so I can just manually adjust them as and when i want. I would put them at the lowest but That begins to starve my GPU of air so i need the flow.
 
I can but my last motherboard had pretty poor control tbh which is why i got the controller. If I run my fans from the controller at minimum which is barely audible My temp doesn't change as apposed to max for some reason but obv my GPU really feels it.

I'm currently throwing it up between these fans;

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £70.89

Not sure which will be best
