I am in a budget of 400 dollars. I was thinking of buying a 360mm radiator but i have no space for it on my case. I just have 2 fan outlets. I was thinking of using those 2 fan holes or however they are called i don't remember and leave the 3rd fan just there using airflow to pushout air again to the case and the fan on the back to push it out. I can buy a 240mm radiator and a 120mm radiator but it will be pricey. I have the cm force 500 case.
Will a 240mm radiator (2x120mm) work to cool down an i7 4770k (going to be overclocked to 4.5 ghz) and 2x r9 290?

You can't expect to OC that high before even trying, but yeah and 240mm would be great, I'd recommend a H105 over a H100i though.

A 240 mm radiator would more than suffice your set up.Just tell us where you live, guys here could suggest you a decent liquid cooler.
the guys above have never heard of custom water cooling...
1. AIO can only cool one single component and are not eveneven much better than air coolers
2. usually you should have at least 420mm rad for 3 blocks (1cpu/2gpu) to benefit from water

^ Excuse you, I'm well aware of custom liquid cooling...
It's way more expensive, and requires a lot of knowledge. Very easy to break components if you don't know what you're doing.

then please read op's title and then find me a AIO can cool a 4770k and 2 r9 290s.
custom water cooling is way more expensive, your right with that, but its also superior to any AIO liquid cooler performance wise and also far more flexible.
if you don't know what your doing, you shouldn't be building PCs, WC is easily done right with a decent amount of planning.
budget wise:
full cover GPU water block is about 120$ each -> 240$
most CPU blocks are around 70$
a d5 pump with top is 120$
you can get a reservoir for 40$
120mm 45mm thickness is under 50$
240mm 45mm thickness is around 60$
that makes a total of approximately 580$ without tubing, fittings, sli adapter. (I used frozencpu as reference)

Ah, I missed the 'and 2 290s'. And that's not true, anyone can build PC's. Even people who aren't tech enthusiasts.
please read my post again:
"if you don't know what your doing, you shouldn't be building PCs, WC is easily done right with a decent amount of planning."
where is the part with the tech enthusiasts? I don't recall where I wrote it, please point it out to me. :€
but I have to admit, putting the most important info in the title is rather unhelpful for those trying to help.

My honest apologies,sir.
I missed that part.
People sometimes tend to forget things.When I saw the heading,I just figured that he wanted to cool just his i7 4770k and not the otherway round.
My apologies,once again.
