The water cooling system begins without the graphics card but will alter over time.

Hi there and sorry If I hit the wrong category for my topic but google lead me to here so lets blame google, ok?
Anyway, I just bought me my dream-system and I am only waiting for the memory to start assembling.
For now I didnt buy a new graphic card cause maybe the new nvidia will get released in the next month and the prices for a 1080ti are bit high right now.
So I bought the EK Water Blocks kit PRO and I will start assembling it with the CPU cooled only.
Later, when I will have a new graphic card aswell (now I am gonna stick with my old 970GTX) I want to implement the graphic card aswell into the water cooling system.
So what you pros and experts think of that?
I mean will it be hard to insert the graphic card into the loop afterwards?
Here is my component list so far:
Intel i9-7900x
Asus ROG Strix X299-XE
Corsair 32GB Vengenace RGB 3200 Mhz 4x8
1TB Samsung 960 EVO M.2
Thermaltake View71
EVGA Supernova 750W PSU
and of course the EK Water Block Kit Professional.
You only need to empty the loop, set up the block on the new card, link the tubing, and refill it. Verify that the block matches the PCB of the card—they vary, with some being Nvidia reference layouts and others custom. It isn't complicated. It just requires a bit of time and patience.

I rely solely on distilled water and antimicrobial additive drops. I simply swap the water at a rate of $0.95 per gallon, and because a loop usually contains only 1-2 liters at most, a single gallon for under a dollar remains effective for a long time. I don’t promote costly coolants; my focus is on how long the loop and coolant have been in use and their cleanliness.
What specific kit did you receive for yourself?
To install a GPU, you’ll likely need to add another radiator to your system in addition to the new GPU.
There’s no issue with adding, removing, or replacing components in the loop. As Rubix mentioned, simply disconnecting the loop works.
The liquid can be reused if it looks good and hasn’t been stored for a long time. However, I mostly use distilled water with a few drops of biocide or a color/pastel concentrate. Usually, I don’t reuse the liquid. For better reuse, consider using a glass container to collect the drained liquid.
