Stick with the single heatercore. See what temps you get and see if that satisfies your goals. I don't know about blow air down from outside of the case. Good airflow from 120mm fan placement might be enough

I'm not a fan of the large NV-6800 blocks. I think the smallet acetal maze4, mp-1, and mcw-60 are better choices. Probably less restrictive and better performing. $20 ramsinks from Swiftech can keep DDR3 ram on Vidcard cool.

Changing the order of the loop doesn't change temps drastically. The logical path would be Rad>RES>2 TDXs>GPU>NB>pump>RAD
or
RAD> split into 2 tdx> combine to GPU> NB>RES >PUMP>RAD.

Consensus is have RES before the Pump. Try not to have RES after a pump. The large the pressure difference between restrictive cpu waterblock and pump with the RES inbetween the two causes leaks. You might not have that problem if you have RES into two TDXs which are not really restrictve depending on the accel plate you use.
