Built my 4th rig finally (took 5 months to get all the components), now looking to do my first water cooling loop in it.

Problems being, mitx case (inwin 901). Very limited space for rads, red, pump, etc. I have a good idea on how I plan to place things given the space.

For people familiar with the case, positions may make more sense. Plan as of now is to have a 100 or 150mm tube res on the left side of the hdd cage, an ek xtop revo d5 mounted on the bottom of the cage, EVO x99 block, a new alpha cool nexxxos xt45 single 92mm rad with a noctua NF-a9 pulling through it in back where the 92mm fan spot is, and also an alpha cool nexxxos st30 (I think) 30 mm thick 120mm rad above the 120mm fan slot in front with a noctua Nf-f12 pushing through it.

What would be a good loop order for a single cpu block, with 1 pump and 2 separate rads? I didn't think the single 92 would be enough to cool 5820k, hence the added 120mm rad.

Plan on getting the r9 nano white from Asus to fit the 120 where I'd like

As far as I'm aware loop order doesn't make too much difference to the temperatures (Or atleast changing the order in my system didn't do anything.).  So yeah, your order sounds good. 

EDIT: @TaterToast remember to follow your topics!

EDIT2: Or, and yeah, always res -> Pump and don't let your pump run dry or very bad things happen!

I agree. Reservoir, then pump. The rest doesn't matter. However I think of loop order as going around in a circle. You can get very clean and short runs going that route. However don't cross tubing over each other, it looks bad.
