From the preliminary graph the Nexxos XP is good, very good. A small fraction of a C better than the copper Cascade. Used in a loop cooling just the CPU it'd do a great job. But it's also shown to be a flow hog, 1.4gpm max flow with pH's pump in exchange for temps worse than the SS Cascade, G4 Storm or G5 Storm, all of which give better temps at higher flow rates.

The pressure drop is very high, to high. Add a open designed GPU block into a loop with that block and you may manage 1.25 gpm for your system flow rate. Add a higher performing, but more restrictive GPU block & you'll be way down on flow rates, and that's with a stronger than average pump. A average pump would do even worse.
