Dual radiator loop order

I'm making a loop for the first time and im not sure which loop order to do. The parts I'm using are: a gpu block, CPU block, 2 rads and 2 pumps

The order of the loop doesn't matter since the fluid moves around the loop at such a fast rate. Only thing that needs to be consider is the reservoir being placed above and before the pump so it doesn't run dry. Also for a single GPU and CPU loop a single good quality pump like a D5 of DDC is more than enough, other than to have a secondary unit for redundancy purposes.

Loop order honestly doesnt really matter. I personally have mine in the following:

 

Pump > GPU > 360 Rad > CPU > 280 Rad > Res. Rinse and repeat. 

 

But with water cooling, loop order really makes no difference as the thing people want with loop order is loop temp.. component temps really doesnt matter as much like it would with air cooling.
