Is it possible to water cool only GPU with this EK-KIT A240G

[tsurokovu]

Hello,
So I want to buy water cooling system for my PC. And right now i have a decent Cooler Master CPU cooler installed. My CPU is i5-4590 and running under load at 50-60 degrees Celsius. On the other hand I have Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti MSI Aero and under load it hits the Temp barrier which is set at 82 degrees. I know I can just adjust fan speed and enjoy cool GPU but the noise it starting to make under 100% fan speed is an issue. So I started to learn about water cooling solutions and found out this Kit : EK-KIT A240G https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/ek-kit-a240g .Which is a water cooling for GPU and CPU. My CPU is locked so i can't overclock it and I think there is no reason to go for water cooling fro CPU. In future i plan on buying i7-8700K and then it will be usefull. But for now my question is this:
Can I shorten the loop with this KIT?
So what I mean by it is to not water cool my CPU and just connect the tube from GPU to the radiator. In the installation video of this KIT as I understand it goes in this sequence: Water pump->gpu->cpu->radiator->water pump. So what I was thinking to do this : water pump ->gpu->radiator->water pump. Is it possible and will there be any side effects to this? As I understand nothing bad should happen but want to be sure before buying and installing it. So please guide me as this will be my first water cooling experience =) Thanks.

Yes, it'll work, the tubing isn't cut to length and leaving out the CPU block will have no effects.
As with any water cooling project, check the dimensions of the radiator and fans carefully, you may run into clearance issues, especially if you mount the radiator in the case top.

With two coolers in the case airflow may be an issue, ideally both should be intakes so both radiators get plenty of cold air from outside the case but it may greatly simplify the overall installation to remove the AIO and just use the kit to cool both CPU and GPU.

Do bear this in mind for the future: The kit you're thinking about is aluminium based, do NOT at any time add copper or brass into the loop, not even fittings, Google; 'galvanic corrosion' for details as to why.
