When getting my graphics card, a GTX 980, for my first computer build, the retailer ended up upgrading my purchase to the Poseidon model. Now while I know liquid cooling is only optional with the Poseidon, it seems like a shame to not even try.

I was wondering if there were any recommendations for cooling kits that DON'T involve a cpu cooler (as I have that cooled by a separate Corsair H100.
I'm fine with getting a pre-built kit that has all the necessary parts already installed, though I'm also open to building my own kit, though I'm quite nervous about doing so.
Any good guides and/or tutorials on liquid cooling solely the graphics card would also be welcome.
Thanks!

P.S. Being a resident of Canada, any solutions that were actually available and somewhat easy to get to over here would be even more so appreciated!

Well, you COULD get an AIO like the EK Predator and drain it, take off the CPU block, connect it to the GPU and refill it (easiest way), however it's more cost-effective to sell the card and use that money + the water cooling money to buy a current-gen card (either GTX 1070 or GTX 1080).
