So I'm debating about taking my current rig which is running an ivybridge i5, and a r9 280, and upgrading it to be watercooled. I'm doing this in a Node 304 case, which means space is a major constraint. Doing some reading, I'm thinking the following will be enough to cool both the CPU and GPU (Neither overclocked, just going for noise reduction and cool factor):

With a GPU mounting block and some nice fans. Do you think this will be enough to cool both of those?
 
Wait, I thought DangerDen went out of business like 2 years ago.....

That radiator is a bit small though. A 2x80mm radiator has less surface area than a single 120mm radiator so I don't think it is really worth adding. Look here at this worklog of someone who did watercooling in your case, he managed to squeeze a 2x140mm radiator into the thing, pretty impressive.
