gal./h

I want to water cool my CPU, Motherboard chipset, GPU and video ram all in a series. I was wondering what would be the best pump? One with a low or high gal./h?

Eheim 1250 - 264 lmp. gal./h
Eheim 1048 - 132 lmp. gal./h

High, definitely.

I dunno, with all the talk recently that lower flowrate (or at least a sweet spot) is better? I'm trying to work out how to do 2 cpus, a chipset and GPU using one radiator (BI-X) and one pump. I was thinking about the Eheim 1250 as opposed to the higher flowrate 1060.

1250. With all that stuff you'll have a good deal of restriction.

Lower is only better for the Rad, and only for certain ones. Realistically higher will always be better because radiator performance is comparitively unimportant next to water block (any heatercore is massive overkill for most people, so what matters is the block).
