Right my motherboard seems to be failing so i need to update my rig was going to get a 2080ti as well but waiting until the one i want becomes available.

One thing i need to do is fit a drain to the loop as it currently does not have one. I am concerned with placement as my pump/reservoir for the drain as is it to high would i need to do it off the bottom rad.

Another thing i am concerned with is I am not sure i can find the allen key to bleed the top rad. I plan only to keep this setup for a month or so before i have to drain it and add my new 2080. So i wont be buying any mixed fluid until that point. Anyhow here is what the loop looks like. (this before finished but the layout is same)

Any comments would be welcome quickly as i plan to hit buy by mid day at latest.
 
The easiest way would just be to cut the tube going between the GPU and radiator. Simply replace the cut tube when you're done. If you prefer not to cut the tube, then make the connection to the radiator with a T connection and have your ball valve connected to the T. You can screw in a length of tube when you want to drain.
 
Cheers for suggestion :) will add t connection.

Might buy a gpu block while i wait for the next month or so if i did what block would i need with the new M/B ?
 
The motherboard is irrelevant as far as the GPU block is concerned. You need to make sure a block is available for the GPU, have a look here:

Sorry must have had blocks on the mind. I meant bridge for my 980tis as it may be December before the card becomes available, so was just thinking to fit a water bridge rather than the setup i currently have.
