I think you'd be better off making it all 1 loop.  a 480 for cpu+mobo is massive overkill, while a 480 for 2 graphics cards is only moderate overkill.  you get a better overall overkill situation going with all the stuff in one loop.  better overall overkill means you can run your fans slower for a quieter system...

 

on another note, personally I think watercooling 7870's isn't worth it.  I'd sell them for 1 better card if I were in your shoes.  you might lose a little money, but if you're willing for to fork out the dough for 2 seperate loops I think you can afford it.  and if money is an issue, I'm sure the saving's of 1 loop, having to buy only 1 pump, potentially 1 res (although you can prolly make 2 loops work with only 1 res) will more than offset the loss on the gfx cards

yes, I like overkill too...  2 loops will work, just overkill effect won't be quite as great...

 

You should put temps sensors in each loop to see the fluid temp difference between the 2
