Better to use Kraken x60/61 for GPU cooling and H80i/H75 for CPU cooling or vice versa?

I believe my case (Corsair Vengeance C70) can house both a Corsair H80i/H75 and a NZXT Kraken x60/61. I want to cool both my CPU and GPU. Which cooler should I use for which (I'll use the Kraken G10 GPU block)? For reference, I have the i5-2500k and EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX.
 
Solution
Use the kraken x60 (orx61) for the CPU, and an h75 for the GPU. The H80i is not compatible with the kraken g10.

CPU's make a lot more heat than GPU's, so the larger cooler should be used for the CPU.
