I have an i5 4690k and a GTX 970 (I plan to get another 970 in about 6-8 months)
would a single pump, a single res, 1 240mm rad and 1 120mm rad be good for water cooling my 4690k and my 970? And when I add my second 970 other than another radiator, what would I need to add to cool them? Also If I overclock would all of this be fine for that?

The trouble is we don't know what pump you're talking about, nor what radiators.

The reservoir doesn't matter - it has no effect on the loop, and its purpose is to make your life far easier when bleeding the loop and refilling, and to store extra water so you don't have to top off every few days.

As for the cooling capacity, as long as what you get is of good quality, and it's a decently powerful pump (I like the Swiftech D5 varient that has PWM control), you should be in good shape.

the res and pump are the ones on the h220x which is what I plan to get and my rads are 240mm and 120mm (1 of each)
