I have a I5 - 3570k no overclock and i purchased a GTX 970 with a waterblock after I bought the water cooling for my cpu. Will the radiator be enough be enough? What temps can I expect
 
An 80mm Rad? I'm not aware of many of that size.... and if you're proposing cooling the CPU+GPU off a single 80mm Rad, I can't see that going well.

GPUs that are water cooled (via AIOs) typically ship with 120mm units which, while a little overkill, are fairly fit for purpose.
An overclocked 3570K, similarly, would be fine with it's own 120mm Rad.

Combined, I'd suggest a minimum 240mm. 80mm, I highly doubt is going to cut it.
 


Thanks for the reply, Yeah its like the cheapest rad on ebay Im currently running It just with the cpu (i5 3570k) and Oc`d to 4.2ghz With max temps of 60 degrees Celsius
