I am looking to swap out my current video cards with two water cooled GTX 590's but I on'y want to use a temporary setup for the time being.

I have a Raven II case and prefer to build a complete new PC in the near future so I don't want to invest in making a complete system using the Raven case. Any suggestions on parts that I may be able to interchange or just a decent choice for a temporary setup wit the raven case and only 2 590's in a loop?

This will be my first attempt at water cooling aside from my i7 920 having the simple bolt in cosair H50.
 
Okay I would get a Triple Rad Minimum a Quad can be had for a few bucks more. You can externally mount the rad or you can do 2 2 fan rads.

Get an MCP35x or MCP655/Laing D5 (Same shit)

Get some lower cost vinyl tubing from Home Depot/Lowes try and use 1/2ID 3/4OD

Use some cheap ass worm gear clamps for this cheap line.

Get a low cost Rez like the Swiftech MicroRez

The GTX 590's I would recommend Swifttech waterblocks for those or ... EK Acetel model . Dont skimp on the aquablocks, this is your bread and butter here, your GPUs and all lol!!!

The reason for the higher cost pumps and good rads is the ability to use those premium parts in your real build that you will eventually do.

Also the reason for the cheap ass hose is that its cheap, it works fine, but you can use it and throw it in trash before you do the real build with Tygon or some other ultra premium material.

And lastly the H50 although it has water in it is not water cooling by any means in comparison to real waterblocks and rads etc... you know that.

I would hold off on CPU watercooling if you are just using the 920 chip still. Now if you are good at reverse engineering, you can disable the pump in the H50, disable the and remove the single ran RAD and pipe your GPU loop into that little CPU block and the tri/quad rads will have so much cooling capacity it will laugh at the CPU.
