Hi everyone. I'm planning a water cooling loop for my pc and trying to get some advise.

-8700k, delidded, thermal grizzly liquid metal, running at 1.32v, 4.9Ghz
-Maximus Hero X
-Asus Poseidon GTX1080Ti
-EVGA SUPERNOVA 1000 G2 power supply
-Phanteks Evolv ATX TG case

Currently cooling the 8700k with a Corsair H100i v2. FPU stress test max at 89 after 20mins with pump at 3000rpm.

I'm thinking geting 2x 240mm(30mm think) radiators. Will it be sufficient?
How much coolant do I need approx. to fill up the entire loop?

I have a used Thermaltake D5 pump( from pump and reservoir combo) for this loop build.
 
Solution
Yes, that should be a sufficient amount of cooling.

As much fluid as is needed. Not really sure anyone can give you a ballpark without specific components, tubing size, length, etc. Nor does it really matter, over order. You will need to perform maintenance at some point.
