Trying to liquid cool 2 titan xp's and an intel i9 7900x with an open loop using my own coolant color of choice. First off, i have no clue what kit to buy, and would love an installation guide. Thanks!

I don't agree with saying that it's easy to have watercooling. It's not.
It's easy to get a compatible components list and assembling it, that's true, it's not more difficult than when you first learned how to work on PC's.

However, loops have a LOT of small and terribly explained details that can make your system inefficient or prone to failure.
Maintenance can be a severe pain if your loop is not designed properly. If something goes wrong and you have to clean your loop, it's a whole day of work at best. And when you ask for help on how to clean it, the thread will turn into an argument on who has the best "grandma's recipe" for cleaning loops.

I've seen so many "experienced watercoolers" act cool and fancy but putting themselves in...

I know this is off-kilter for these forums & I personally do everything myself.
BUT
I would honestly say after spending $4k on those 2 gpu's & CPU alone & having no experience whatsoever in custom loop cooling you should be paying someone to do this professionally for you.

I agree with matt, you should ask ekwb for instance , they make beautiful SAFE kits.

My friend does this for a living (Building pc's with custom cooling) He is doing it for me, i was just curious what it entails but im not installing it, just wanted a how to page for learning purposes. He told me to figure out what loop i wanted/needed and he'd do the rest.

A bit off-kilter again but I'd push you over to those firums. (Hope this is allowed)

They have a seperate water Cooling forum , a seperate ekwb forum ,& ekwb have an official forum themselves in the manufacturers section.

What you're asking is very specialized & you will honestly get more decisive help there .

there is no kit for such configuration.
what you need is at least 240 radiator surface per component (for exmaple 3x240 or 2x360 or 480+240).
you need a bunch of blocks - 2xGPU and a CPU block.
after that YOU NEED to decide if you want to go with a single loop or two separate loops for GPUs and CPU. For s single loop, you probably want dual pump setup. both for redundancy and performance. The obvious pump choice is one of D5 variants.
Than just decide if you want a rigid or flex tubing -> pick your fittings.
And srsly, coolant color is the last concern.

P.S.
you don't need to pay someone to do it for you. there are plenty good guides how to build a loop and it's really not that complicated if you have both hands.

I've seen so many "experienced watercoolers" act cool and fancy but putting themselves in the most ridiculous of situations because of their lack of understanding what's going on in their systems. These people are not able to help themselves with troubleshooting, let alone you if you need help with a weird issue (which happens quite often in watercooling).

If you don't have the will and time to concentrate on the matter, do deep research and think from the bottom up about your system.... Forget it. And by the fact that you're already asking help to get a configuration, I understand that you don't have this kind of will.
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be rude or act superior. In fact, I would like to avoid that you waste a lot of money and find yourself dealing with a lot of unexpected consequences, like for example a 800 bucks cooling system that gives you similar or worse temps than an AIO and nobody can figure out why.

If you really want watercooling, I believe that the best choice for you is to get professional help. And not just a random kid that knows how to assemble a loop, a proper professionist that has a shop and can give you warranty on the job.
