RS240 pump enough for........

Hey guys, im trying my hand at watercooling for the first time. This isnt going to be a huge WC adventure (like I plan on having with my main rig, once HD9XXX drops). All I want to cool is an AMD athlon 2 X2 and a GTX 260 C216. Eventually I might upgrade this system to an AMD 8 core and a new GPU (Dual GPU card). I was wondering if the pump in the RS240 kit would be big enough for an additional 120mm rad, or is it really just meant for the stock 240 it comes with. Also, would a 240 and 120mm rad be enough for an FX8320 (OC'd) and an HD5970//6990/590?

Thanks,
Sebastian
 
Maybe an extra 120mm radiator and a GPU block would be fine(barely) but nothing more than that. For an overclocked FX8320 and high end GPUs, 120mm + 240mm radiators wouldn't cut it; you could but you'll have to bear with higher temps and louder fan noise which nullifies the benefit of having a WC in the first place. Its at least 360mm + 240mm or single 480mm to achieve a balance between temp delta and fan speed.
