What sort of pump would I need for a 360mm radiator and 140mm?

I am considering making my first water cooling loop. I want to have a 360 in the roof of my NZXT phantom 820 and a 140 out the back to cool my intel 4790K and Nvidia Geforce 980ti.
I was considering getting a pump/ resivoir combo like this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xspc-x2o-750-dual-bayres-pump-black-v4-wc-186-xs.html but I've also heard that the pump for multiple radiators needs to be strong, would this be good enough?
Also any other advice is welcome (I know roughly what I'm doing, having built my PC with a all in 1 water cooler, just want to make my own now)
Thanks for any help

A D5 or a DDC (either variable speed) would be a good idea if you're looking for a redundant pump. They're built to last and have been with the watercooling community for a good 10 years(longer if you consider their development). Mind you, if you have space for mounting and aesthetics, you can go for the D5 but if you're space is limited you'd be best served with a DDC.

The X2O pump isn't bad(as it's seen bundled with 240/360mm kits courtesy of XSPC) but it has been known to fail without warning or work all the way through with the kit it's usually bundled in/with. As a standalone pump meant for a CPU only loop, you're good but when you add more component to the loop, the pump takes a hit and you don't get any degree of how fast or far...

That being said, the X2O is a fixed speed pump.

Since you're with half the bearing, it'd be good to get the other half from a lore, the watercooling sticky to be more specific, so please head down there via the link in my sig space ;)
