Two things:

1. Have you considered how large the md-30rzt really is? It is 3.5" wide 4.66" tall and 11.25" long. Are you going to have room inside the case for such a large pump?

2. If you split the flow before the CPU you won't have max flow going thru the CPU. Whether you split the flow before or after the cpu, if the split uses the same components (tee's, hose, etc.) the total flow will be the EXACT same.
Code:
                    ----2gpm---CPU----
                  /                   \
>pump-----3pgm---[                     ]-----3gpm----Rad>
                  \----1gpm--NB--Gfx--/


                      --------2gpm-------
                     /                   \
>pump---3gpm--CPU---[                     ]----3gpm---Rad>
                     \---1gpm--NB--Gfx---/
sorry about the bad diagram but can you see what I mean?

Just some food for thought. I know this doesn't answer your question. IMHO the md-30rzt will be enough to get great flow, not sure if it will meet your 3gpm goal but it will come closer than any other pump I know of.
