Ive just gone water cooling for my CPU and i have found that because my CPU heat is now been carried through pipes to a radiator and not though the case my GPU temp has dropped 15c..
The latest cards from Nvidia have excellent heatsink/fans and you wont really benefit with having a water block on it.
To drop your GPU temps by about 5c just take off the heatsink and apply some Arctic Silver 5 paste on the core(s). (Remove the original paste first.)
