so im running an intel i5 3350p and a asus ROG gtx 780 poseidon, is a single 240mm radiator good enough for those parts?

Delta-T wouldn't be ideal, but you could technically get away with it with really strong fans. Would just not be an accurate result of what watercooling could potentially be, though.

I would look into an XSPC or EK kit with a DDC or D5 pump and simply add the GPU block (wait, the Poseidon has one...sorta). For what you are looking to buy separately, you might save a few dollars unless you have specific components in mind.

Could also do that. Just need to account for the GPU thermal load, accordingly. Also, keep in mind the pump, you want to make sure it's capable and a solid performer. Some lower-end kits use cheaper pumps and may/may not be the best. Do some Googling when you start landing on them to see what user reviews say about them before you buy.
