Morning,

Put your GPU in the top slot and if you have a third slot on the mobo, put the other GPU in that slot. A dedicated GPU that is quite large ussually uses a lot of space covering the second PCI E 16 slot on the mobo.

Make sure however that you mobo supports either crossfire or SLI that is compatible with your card if you want to go a 2 card setup.

That it is a liquid cooler, if you want to get this then you will need to have case space to mount the radiator either at the top of the case or the bottom of the case. I would advise you to check the size of the cooler (radiator) and the spare space that you have in your case.
