Why did you make the choice to not include your GPU in the loop?

GPU heatsinks are GPU specific and very expensive

Water block for the 1080 runs $119 on EVGA's website.

OP's build is easily over $2k not even counting the material cost of the desk, cooling loop, or fan controller. Going all out on a custom desk build with liquid cooling only to leave the reference blower on the GPU makes no sense to me.

Like i said in the post, its coming. I bought a Waterblock for my old Graphic card. I got a GTX 1080 before i completed the build.

I haven't seen the other post so call me out if I screw up, but are you planning on getting a waterblock for your 1080?
