Help with routing tubing for cooling setup!!! Pictures included...

So I'm trying to figure out the best way to route my tubing. Below I've created an example (real case) of what I'm thinking about doing.. It's hard to show the exact angles and how it'll come out but I think that might change as I actually start to install the tubing anyway. I will be using hard tubing, PETG.

 

Is there anything I should change or would another way be more beneficial? One RAD was free, the Crossflow, so I'm utilizing it the best that I can (it's the top rad). I'm pretty set on where the rads and pump are set already. I haven't played with it too much but I'm pretty sure I can turn the in/outlets on the pump so they are more convenient..

 

So far, this is the best I could come up with after playing with it for a few minutes. This is my FIRST loop so any advice or recommendations are welcome ?

You can make tubing runs shorter and cleaner by going from the vertical rad into the pump, which is closer than the GPU.

Then GPU to CPU.

I really want to fill some of the space below the GPU if I'm not mounting it vertical, though.. Unless you mean something different..

 

Is this a little better? I like the pipe under the GPU..

Yeah with tubing the shorter the straighter the runs the better it will look.
