hi, just wanted to know what you guys think the minimum radiator size for watercooling a gpu should be? more specifically, what should the radiator size be to cool a palit 560 ti gpu?

Yep. 240 will net better temps but a single 120 would suffice.
FWIW I can run an i7 @ 4.5 and a GTX580 @ 950 core on a single 360 rad with fans turned down to minimum and still get great temps.
 
I thought the rule was 150w dissipation per 120rad. Isn't the 560ti something like a 220w tdp?
 
No, the 560 is somewhere around 160w TDP. 220 is GTX 570/HD6970 level.
 
I would go with a 240....that way the deltaT will be far superior than if you were using only a 120 rad.

you could also use quieter fans.
