I got a watercooling setup currently only for my cpu and that the first watercooling i ever done on a pc, i wanna expand to my gpu aswel what would by the best solution for me ?

Current system :

push pull on 360rad 60mm thick
6700k @ 4.7ghz
Sabertooth z170 mark 1
Corsair dominator ddr4 3200mhz 16gb
Asus r9 390x
Corsair Ax 860i
Corsair 800d

I want to take the 390x into the loop or maybe even create a seperate loop for it wil the 360 rad be enough ,go with a thicker rad. or i need an extra rad?
I don't mind to mod the case if needed.
Also might wanna go for rigid tubing this time arround i assume i need other type of fittings for rigid tubes.

If any one could give me some insight it would be much apreciated!

A single 360mm radiator of 60mm thickness should be more than enough for your cooling necessities on your CPU and the GPU. I'd add at least a 120mm of radiator space but have a 240mm in there for good measure. Speaking of good measure, what sort of fans are you running on your radiator? If you have a set or two of good static pressure fans then you can get away with higher rpm's without increasing radiator surface area(and expenses for that matter). If you do increase surface area then you can get away with lower rpm fans. Push/pull with a fan shroud between the rad and fans will also help but it makes the entire setup look bulky.

That being said which radiator do you have? There are a number of manufacturers who make 60mm thick...
