SO I have 2 of this cards and I have manage to keep both cards around 70-80 (usually the first cards reaches 80) while gaming or doing stress test... I seriously don't like this temperatures and therefor I would like to use a different method of cooling now my question is this, can I use 2 H80i gt for my cards I have plenty space to fit 2 of this (780t corsair) and if this is possible where can i find the proper kit for this particular cards ?

There is no watercoolin kit for video cards but you can use a CPU kit and just buy some waterblocks for them
I say do a proper watercooling setup for them

Because your GPU is pushing the Air into your Windows on the Side Panel it might be a little hard to cool it down anymore then you now have it.
One option you could review is to put a singe 200mm Fan in that Windows Pull the Air Out of the Case for an Exhaust of the hot air coming off the GPU. Most 200mm fans are also really quiet.

What slot do you have the 2nd card installed? Do you have one open or two open slots between them? +1 on your MODS RIGS.

I would use Slot 1 Primary Card and Slot 4 for the Secondary Card. Remember to leave Slot 3 & 6 Empty this way you still have both cards running at X16. PCI-E Lane Distribution PE1 – x16 (x8 if PE2 is used) PE2 – x16 (x8 if PE3 is used) PE3 – x8 PE4 – x16 (x8 if PE6 is used) PE5 – x1 PE6 – x8

You obviously had some kind of airflow deficiency while using your gtx 970's. The cards shouldnt do that. I'm getting 60 max while running high demand software. You have a lack of airflow somewhere. As Bcavnough suggested, putting a 200mm fan would be nice on the window.

Not sure how you manage to keep those cards @ 60 during any stress test ... you did some tweaking with the fans ?

Yea, just a tad. Good airflow helps as well.

We see that, but the suggestion was think about putting a 200mm fan on the side window, or 2 140mm fans to put airflow on the cards themselves.
