This is my first coustome loop and I am cooling a CPU and dual 1080tis. I was thinking of going and having pump 1 to gpus to 2x 240 to pump 2 to CPU to 240 to 420 to pump 1

Pump 1 and 2 are identical pumps would this be fine setup or should I have them on separate systems say the 2x 240 for CPU and the 420 and 240 for gpus later I was wanted to add the mb psu and what not

One pump in that setup is definitely the way to go. If you want to go with an awesome pump, with duals built in and redundancy, you can go with one of these:

I've installed both of these and they're great. While the 1st is a little quieter is also a little bigger. For reference, these were installed in a system with 4 x 1080ti's, the CPU in the loop, and 2 x 480mm radiators. Point being you really don't need this kinda power for just two GPUs and a CPU.... There's also a good balance between flow rate and cooling. Too fast is possible and doesn't really equal the best cooling performance.

I wouldn't want to have them connected. It should work in theory but if one slows down for whatever reason it'll cause turbulence in the system. Why do you need 2 pumps? Just get one with enough flow rate to do what you need. Rads are more important than pumps

You're best to focus on getting a good radiator after your CPU (between CPU and GPUs) and another good radiator after your GPUs (between your GPUs and reservoir), or vice versa if pumping through your GPUs first.
