Would this custom parallel loop work?

i doubt this loop will work, parallel only works if both parallel routes have the same resistance, thus water flow equally among them
if one route have less resistance, the other route will have less flow and thus overheat

Hey guys!

So I have a question about a custom loop confiiguration I have not yet seen.  It seems a lot of people who have cylinder reservoirs have the water inlet at the tup of the tube.  I don't want to do this because Based on my quick test having the inlet on top seems to cause some bubbles and I can hear the water flowing into the cyclinder like a tiny little faucet.  Because of this I decided I would have both the inlet and outlet be at the bottom and just leave the top for a fill port.  I have a 360 rad, 240 rad, cylinder res, D5 type pump with acryllic top, motherboard with built in block (ASUS formula), CPU block, and GPU block.
They are in the configuration shown in picture 1.
My first Idea was to just run the tubing (PETG) down the side of the res and then bend it back into the bottom as shown in the second picture.
After thinking for a while I thought maybe I could get rid of that huge run beside the reservoir and clean it up a bit.  That is where a came up with the idea in the second picture.
I know that having graphics cards that are in SLI work with a parallel loop, but I have never seen anyone expand the parallelism any further than graphics cards.  I am like 85% sure that having the mobo block, one rad, cpu block running in paralel to the GPU block would work, but before I wast my time and tubing I thought I would get your guys' opinions since I have never actually seen anyone do it.  Do you thing this kind of loop would work?

Thanks for the help

Sorry for my garbage MS Paint skills.  If you guys need any additional info let me know.

I'm no expert but it looks like the flow would be bad.

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Like Moonzy said,  that parallel route simply wont work, the difference between the resistance of the gpu block and the resistance of the rest of the loop is way too big. Almost all of the waterflow would go into the gpu block!
