Here is the build I am working with.

I'm new to liquid cooling, so I have no idea where to start. I've read that frozencpu is a good site to buy from and they have a large selection, but I honestly have no idea what I need to run the loop.

I want the loop to go as follows, but if it's not the most efficient, please let me know.
res > cpu > 240/360 top rad > gpu's > 240 front rad > res

Like I said, I don't really know where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

It depends really on how much money you want to spend, the space you got and if you want to overclock much. 240+360rads will most likely do the trick anyway.

When I do my setups, i want the system to be as silent as possible. I use very silent fans and dont use to high density rads. If your budget is up to it, go for highend-parts from XSPC/EK/Koolance or other well known manufactures. Make sure you pic a stong enough pump to cover the whole loop. Lots of parts and sharp-angle fittings will tear down the water flow.

When it comes to the order, it really does not make that much difference as long as the res feeds water directly to the pump. Its importaint that the pump don't go dry.

Check out some parts that fits your system and look for reviews on youtube etc.

Good luck!
