Would this kit fit in this case?

Hi!

I'm planning to buy this kit.

http://www.ekwb.com/shop/kits-cases/kits/ek-kit-l240.html

I can't buy parts separately since they are not available in my country. (I am going to buy this kit from a foreign country.)

It will be installed in a Corsair Obsidian 550D.

Is it possible? If it is, how?

Btw: I'm going to cool both my GPU and CPU. Is there any other thing I have to buy except this kit?

Thanks. Sorry if I asked some noob questions.

My Rig:

CPU: i7 2600k (stock)
GPU: Asus GTX 590
Mobo: Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 rev 1.0

Thanks for your reply Casey. Which part should I buy to cool the GPU? You don't have to be specific(I will upgrade to a 780Ti when it comes out). Is a GPU waterblock enough to cool a GPU with this kit? Is a backplate necessary?

Btw: Do you think the kit will fit in this case?

Thanks. Again sorry for the noob questions.

Sorry, I'm not too experienced with water-cooling systems. I've just been reading up on it, and am thinking about possibly water-cooling my own desktop.

From what I understand (experienced people, please feel free to jump in if I am completely wrong!), you should be able to buy a GPU waterblock to fit your card, and a bit of extra tubing to connect it to the pump and radiator.

As for whether the kit will fit in the case you selected, the specifications say that the top fan mounts are designed to fit most 240 mm radiators.
