    you might be able to use the pump/ radiator - from the XC kit - I really don't know for sure if they are the same - (seems they should be interchangeable)
     
     Might want to ask Asetek (the pump mfg) if Pump "footprint", hose length & radiator - are the same
     
    FTW3 is a taller GPU design (taller from MB) so other than the pump& connected radiator - everything else would be different

    yes thanks  for your reply . having a closer look at the xc3 the only difference i can see is the xc3 has only 2x8pin connectors so the  shroud will be different and the rgb as well. looking at pump and radiator looks identical

    The PCB is different between the XC and FTW. The pumps might be interchangable but, I doubt the screw holes for the rest of the cooler will line up. Also the VRM is likely to be in a different spot. If the pumps are interchangeable you would have to use the FTW shroud from your current setup.

    Looks like the Same pump & radiator - (EVGA does not list all the physical specs - that is why I mentioned earlier - Ask the OEM)
     
    The Copper "RAM adapter/shim" (EVGA calls it "GPU & Memory Baseplate") could be physically different & the PCB cover for the FTW is physical bigger
