Hi, I am having trouble deciding the layout of my water cooling loop which I will have in an upcoming build in an enthoo luxe.

I will have a 280 rad at the front (Intake), 140 rad at the back (exhaust), and a 360 rad at the top (exhaust) 

Parts which need to be cooled:

Processor
Graphics card (might eventually go for two in SLI)
Motherboard (asus maximus vii formula)

So yeah, not sure wether to go: reservoir>pump>gpu>rad>cpu>rad>motherboard>rad>reservoir 

Or a completely different layout

I am also not sure wether to mount the reservoir by the front of the case, or at the back.

And, should I go for flexible tubing, or acrylic? is the only difference aesthetics?

I would ditch the 140mm at the back and go Res - pump - front rad - gpu - cpu - top rad - res

 

Only difference is aesthetics. Mount it where ever seems good.
