It really depends on how you'd like to do it. I personally go pump, CPU block, CPU block, split and reduction to 3/8"ID, GPU and Northbridge, Dual heatercores, re-store to 1/2"ID and recombine lines, pump, reservoir, then around to the other pump. I have two Xeons, and they really don't need what they're getting, but I could afford the extravagance at the time, so I did. Again, it's basically up to you. If you've got dual pumps, put them in a push-pull loop like I did, or create two separate loops, one for the CPU and one for the other stuff. Be warned though. You'll need some room in the case to do this. If you go with a push-pull loop, you've got redundancy, so if one pump dies, you've still got flow. Parallel loops don't give you that nice redundancy. Happy watercooling...
