The X60 will not do what you want, but I guess you know that now, great.

The CM Glacier 240L will be able to do what you want and would be the most painless way to get it done. Or you could start off with a kit, say one from XSPC that would give you everything to cool a CPU then you could add in your GPU and MB when you wanted. The same for the 240, it would cool your CPU and you could add in the GPU/MB when you got around it it.

By far the easiest way to go would be with the 240L, as it comes ready to go out of the box to get you up and running, it is a re-branded Swiftech 220.

Here are the links to both of them....

Ok, so basically you want a custom loop rather than the all in one solution you have picked out? If so then you will need to buy fittings, tubing, and a waterblock for your gtx 780. You will need 2 fittings per component (so 2 on your motherboard, 2 on your cpu, 2 on each radiator, 2 on each gpu) you will also need a pump.
so essentially it won't be a closed loop, it will be more of a custom loop, and you might as well not get the nzxt kraken and just go for a full custom loop (personal opinion of course)

With the 750 you would need to assemble, bleed, leak test, then install. The 240L is much simpler if you are not experienced with WCing.

One set up, then buy a water block for the graphics card, installed it and plumb it in the loop. You would need the block itself, fittings and more tubing..
