Asus Poseidon + MCR-X20 integrated pump and reservoir

[titaniumfall]

Hello there! I'm very new and noobish please forgive my ignorance

Can the MCR-X20 (http://www.swiftech.com/mcr-x20-drive-rev3.aspx#tab2) keep the Asus Poseidon (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121869) cool enough to operate during intensive gaming?

I'm only looking to have a small gpu water loop with low maintenance because i already have a h100i for my cpu (i5 4670k) I'm not looking to have a full custom loop till a couple more years.
I currently have a evga gtx 760 sc 2gb. Would anyone recommend me to take this route or should I get gtx 780 sli and call it a day?

SORRY if any of this sounds stupid!

System:
Corsair 750d (2x 140 intake fans, 1x 140 outake)
Corsair h100i (pull) - can turn into push pull
msi z87-gd65 (mobo)
i5 4670k
8gb ram
evga gtx 760 sc 2gb
250gb samsung SSD
2TB hhd
Corsair CX750 power supply

Just get a single 780ti without reference cooling. I think that would be your best bet. Don't really need to worry about water cooling a gpu unless you are planning on doing some very intense overclocking, which you don't need to do being"very new and noobish"

Thx soo much for answering so quickly!
Why would you consider the gtx 780 ti over the 780 sli?

Well, there are a few reasons. First, 2 780's would cost at least 1000 usd. 780ti about 700. Sli would use more power, create more heat, and honestly be more than you need for any game. 780ti is the best single card in the world, and when/if it starts falling behind, you can add a second one to increase performance without having to replace a lot of stuff. With 2 780's, youd need a bigger power supply, different motherboard(maybe), and better cooling to add a third to increase performance. While 2 780's will perform better than a 780ti, I think its much more cost effective and upgrade minded to choose a powerful single card over an sli setup. If you already had a 780, I would suggest getting a second.
