I know this is a custom PCB, and the EVGA waterblock is really expensive, so I'm not sure what other options I have and how to actually pick what to get.

I'd prefer just a 120mm radiator (larger would work, but I'd prefer 120mm)

EKWB is one amongst many. XSPC, Koolance, Swiftech, etc...

Pretty much the goto supplier in NA: (FrozenCPU website is still up, but they aren't in operation last I checked, and still the case according to their front page)

You still need a radiator, pump, reservoir, fittings, tubing, coolant (or water plus biocide/kills coil)

I chose to go full bore and did my CPU and two GPUs using a Swiftech H240-X (Pump, Reservoir, 280mm radiator all in one, plus a CPU block) Added two full cover GPU blocks and another radiator and I was off and running.

Lot of pump reservoir combos in there.

Start with this guide here, should be enough to get you started...

Plenty of options out there.

A custom loop with a generic waterblock
A custom loop with a full cover waterblock
An All-in-one adapter like the NZXT GK10 bracket (supply your own Asetek manufactured cooler, like the corsair h60)
Certainly more custom ways to slap a cooling loop to a GPU, just a matter of getting that surface contact.

Why do you want to water cool? Temperature issues, overclocking? ACX2.0 cooler should be quite effective for a single GPU.

The NZXT isn't compatible, which is a shame since that would be dead easy. What would be a good site to get waterblocks and cooling stuff? Is EKWB the only option?

My ACX fan whistles really loudly even after 2 RMA's, so I think watercooling is the only way to eliminate this.
