If you're really paranoid about flow you can run the three components being cooled (NB, GPU, CPU) in parallel, i.e. PUMP > RADIATOR > Y-FITTING --path 1:cpu...y-fitting --path 2: y-fitting (--path 2a...gpu --path 2b...nb--)...y-fitting > y-fitting > (airtrap) > PUMP.

However, if you're running in a mid-tower, the tubing can be a bit difficult to route without kinks and the like, it's going to take a hella lotta hose clamps, and there are plenty more places to spring a leak, etc. Ultimately, I doubt you'll see any tangible increase in performance, when compared with running CPU > GPU > NB in series.

An alternative is to only have two paths, i.e. PUMP > RADIATOR > Y-FITTING --path 1:cpu --path 2:gpu...nb > Y-FITTING > (airtrap) > PUMP.
