Are we talking completely from a new perspective? IE never done water cooling before ?

If so you are going to need two connectors per device to screw into the 1/4 holes (So two per rad, two per block , per pump etc.)
Example: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xspc...ession-fitting-v2-black-chrome-wc-102-xs.html

You are going to need tubing to match your connectors, so the size tubing to fit them.
Example: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/mayh...ling-tubing-3-8-5-8-16-10mm-1m-wc-114-mh.html

You are going to need a res for filling and to collect air bubbles and a pump (the two maybe combined together)
Example: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xspc-d5-photon-170-reservoir-pump-combo-wc-272-xs.html
And some coolant, this is very much personal preference (I'm a deionised water and silver coil kind of guy myself)

On top of this you might require, a tube cutter, some 45 or 90 degree bends to allow you to route tubing. a drain port.

All I can say is, if your unsure, ask ask ask.

I made so many mistake near the beginning, If I had asked more questions maybe I wouldn't of wasted so much time :)

I *Think* the 1080 Ti runs quite a lot of watts, I am unsure how utterly amazing your cooling will be with just a 280 Radiator, but other people will know better than me.

Are you sure you were meant to order the QDC block and not this ONE?

That QDC block was mainly designed to work with the EK predator.

I'm sure, I already have an EK predator 360 cooling my CPU, so could I just add this onto that? Preferably I'd want another radiator though or I could just buy a 240 predator and have the CPU and GPU seperate, my case has plenty of space (Thermaltake Core X9).

Edit: Just realised the predators are now EOL due to the new EK-MLC kit on the horizon.

You should be able to just add a radiator to loop you are correct. You will just need to have 2 extra fittings and 1m x ZMT tubing. The pump will be tested in that loop but should be OK.

Yeah Predator is EOL now. The new one is expected June/July time but not a guarantee.
