Is there any reason to go for more than one loop in one system? One pump is enough for CPU + 4 GPU?

other than the fact 4way sli and cfx is a really bad idea.. one pump with sufficient head pressure will be fine. the additional gpus don't out any more load on the pump as water is still flowing with very little restriction.

separate loops just stop hot components making the whole loop hotter than needed. but sufficient radiator surface area and fans will overcome that

the reason you see seperate loops for the cpu and gpus in a fully setup custom loop is to help keep temperatures separate.

 

If you have 3x  390X's running overclocked, then they are going to heat up the loop, potentially increasing the temp on the cpu, stopping you from overclocking it as far, or just getting higher temperatures. 

If you separate the two loops, suddenly, you're all crystal.

The most ideal situation, but the most stupid, money consuming, and space taking solution would be an individual loop for each item, keeping all temps separate.

so, different pumps has different head pressures? Which one is the good one?

I'm no expert in the field and am asking questions about my setup too, but basically when it comes to pumps avoid cheap and buy branded and you should be OK.
