Coolermaster AquaGate Duo viva VGA water cooler question

[TurK-FX]

I am thinking to buy one however it doesnt say if it is capable with Gtx 280. I dont have Gtx 280 yet(i have 3850 for temporarily, till prices go down a bit more.) I wonder if i can switch the water block with Swiftech MCW60-R2 GPU Water Block(with heatsink and hardware kit). I got a good deal for Aquagate it is just 39bucks with everything. But it is not gonna last forever i have to make up my mind. I know it will work fine with 3850 but i will upgrade my video card right after newyear. I am thinking to built whole water colling system however for now i got Freezone elite for a good price i will try that this weekend with my new rig. I didnt get all parts yet.

it will not keep that gpu cool, they are very poor cooling wise actually.

I know coolermaster will not cool it with stuck gpu cooler. Thats why i am gonna buy swiftec water block and heatsink. But the problem can i install it to coolermaster`s water pump and radiator etc? I bought Freezone Elite for the cpu and looking for a gpu cooling solution if i buy this product for $39 can i take out stuck cooler and add swiftec MCW60-R2 and add swiftec GTX200 cover heatsink?

It's more on the rad area that makes it poor. I'm not sure what size barbs it has but Swiftech do give you a nice selection of plastic barbs.
