Has to be cheap and use compression fittings, I have 2 AMD 7870s (XFX DD) and a AMD 8320.

Im new to custom loops and need help getting the water blocks and parts i need.

Anyone help?

I need both gpus and my cpu cooling :D
 
I read your OP as 2 x 7970's.. not sure how easily obtainable blocks for 7870's will be...

Looks like you'll have to source the GPU blocks...

What room do you have for radiators?

I don't know what kind of rad space is in one of those...

Something along these lines will give you some idea but obviously you need to source some GPU blocks...

The tubing/fitting and fluid colour can be infinitely customised to suit. Ideally you'd need another rad somewhere if you can... 360 will manage I reckon but then you can never have too much rad space...

Fan controller- not compulsary but helps keep noise to a minimum

Fans- you get what you pay for... the SP120's are great.

The OP might be better using a pair of :

EK Water Blocks EK-VGA Supremacy - Acetal £40

with something like a pack of these

Alpenföhn Passive DRAM / VRAM Chip Coolers from somewhere else as OC dont have any. Total approx £100 extra.

If you find somewhere selling 7870 blocks you must make sure they are compatible with the XFX DD editions.

Also as your speccing him a fan controller you might as well spec the full fat sp120's

Corsair SP120 Performance Series High Pressure - Dual Pack £22

Up to 6 times the static pressure of the quiet ones. Or the PWM versions
