Before you get slammed by the rest of us...
The flow restriction of the rad will not affect the CPU block: flow is the same at any point in a loop (unless there's a parallel component).
There's a pressure drop across each component, and they all add up to the total pressure provided by the pump. The order is irrelevant.
The total pressure provided by the pump depends on the total restriction of the loop, which will define the actual flow rate.
Pumps in series, that's golden.
