First time doing water cooling

I was thinking about pulling out all the stops but this is my first time water cooling and wanted to know what you think. I was planning on having the pump go to the CPU, to a triple rad that uses 140mm fans then going to my first graphics card, then to a quad 120mm rad, then back to a second graphics card, to the same type of rad, then back to the pump. By the way my case is a 1000D by corsair so I have room to spare. I was just wondering if there are any problems with this kind of setup as I've never seen someone do it before. I was planning on overclocking heavily. But I was wondering if there's a reason people have the heat transfer from one component to the next without cooling it down before besides lack if space for rads? I don't want to find out the pump cant handle that much water or distance later or something.

Just go:

Res > Pump > CPU > Rad > GPU 1 > GPU 2 > Rad > Res

 

Edit:

Water has a very high heat absorption ability and you don't need to cool it after every component.

loop order dosnt matter. if you are pulling all the stops make sure you get good fans, good rads, trusted fittings and most importantly good blocks.

 

I would recommend Watercool for the blocks, the Heatkiller IVs are amazing. Dont get EK anything if you are going balls to the wall

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
