I'm updating my current setup with the parts from the vF3ykT list and need guidance on planning the cooling system. Should I invest in an additional reservoir, pump, and radiator for a second loop, or should I combine two graphics cards and the processor into one unit? I want to go all-in on tubing but am unsure how to distribute the cooling effectively. I'm using a 760T and have room to work, though I'm completely new to watercooling.

Initially, a 6700k won't fit on your existing motherboard. Most orders will provide similar cooling results if you choose a single loop with everything included; the only real difference is whether the reservoir stays above the pump. The 1070s are great for performance, so one loop should work, but I recommend adding a second pump and reservoir for better block coverage and overall cooling.
