Help with dual water cool system

I am about to start my first build (I am getting the money together and I want to know before I buy.) and I am wondering would the NZXT H440 be good to have dual system water cooling because I know a fit 280mm for my cpu but I am going to try water cooling my Graphics card too. I was wondering if I could fit it in this case?

Thew H440 would not be as good a choice for this.. I would recommend the Enthoo Luxe w/ built in fan control system for the fans, built in external LEDs and bult in LED control system.

And what do you mean by a dual water cool system ? If you are you talking about two CLCs i would STRONGLY advise against that:

1. There is no CLC that cools a CPU better than an equivalently priced air cooler.

2. Every CLC I have seen had a cheap aluminum radiator and weak pump. To compensate for these deficiencies, CLCs need to use extreme rpm fans which are very loud.

3. Mixing aluminum rads with copper blocks is an extremely bad idea...

Like two AIO coolers? Yes you could hook the the one for the CPU in either then front as intake or the top as exhaust. Then for the GPU if your using a AIO hybrid those typically have a 120mm rad/fan that should fit in replacement of the rear 140mm fan.

4. GPU hybrid CLCs cool only the GPU, leaving your VRM and other components no better and often worse than they were before. OCs are limited by the temperature of these items as much as the GPU temps... while the hybrid cooler make the GPU cooler, these other components now are the limiting factor of the OC.

5. For say a 6600k and GTX 1070, I would use

Swiftech H320 X2 - http://www.swiftech.com/h320x2.aspx
MSI 1070 Gaming EK X - http://www.tomshardware.com/news/msi-ekwb-watercooled-1080-1070,32104.html
Enthoo Luxe
Needed hoses and fittings.

You now have ....

- A 1.0+ gpm pump replacing the 0.1 gpm pumps found in CLCs, capable of pushing all necessary coolant thru the system

- All copper radiator with high heat transfer efficiency

-The system is expandable, you can add more blocks, more rads, more whatever you like

- A full cover water block which covers the GPU as well as VRM, memory and other components that need cooling.

- One powerful and efficient water cooling system, that cools all the necessary components with far less noise and potential issues than you would get with a dual hybrid.
