Hi guys, I am really new to water cooling and can't quite get my head around it. I want to water cool my CPU and a dual SLI.

Would this be a suitable water cooling loop:

Reservoire --> Pump --> 1st Radiator --> CPU --> 2nd Radiator --> CPU --> GPU --> GPU --> 1st Radiator --> Reservoir

I was also wondering if I need to have fans above and below the two radiators as well as having fans around the case or do I only have fans on the radiator?

Thanks to any who can help.
 
Solution
I like this type of set up:

Reservoir --> Pump --> 1st "280" RAD with fans on top & bottom (push/pull) --> CPU --> 2nd "280" RAD fans top & bottom (push/pull) --> GPU --> 3rd RAD "140" fans top & bottom (push/pull) --> Reservoir -- Loop Complete.

The cooling power is better in push/pull but it also depends on the quality of the RAD and size.
