Im new to water cooling. This will be my first build. Any advise you may have would be awsome. I'll make sure to post pictures once its all done.

Im planning on setting the loop up like this.

Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> Chipset -> GPU1 -> GPU2 -> Res -> Pump

Does this sound like a prety good flow?
Also will the CSP-MAG pump have enough power to push through this many blocks?

W/C parts:
MAZE4 Power Kit
MAZE4 CPU Block
Black Ice Xtreme Radiator
Danger Den CSP-MAG 12V Pump
DDBay Reservoir High Density Polyehylene

Danger Den ASUS A8N MAZE4 Chipset Block
2x Danger Den Acetal MAZE4 GPU

Specs for system:
A64 3200+ Winchester
A8N-SLI Deluxe
2x Asus 6600GT cards in SLI.
2x 512mb Cricial Ballistix PC3200
Antec Sonata Case
 
good luck on your first wc system. Ive had my first for one year now and have been completely happy with the results. As far as your loop I would go from the cpu to the gpu then the chipset. If your going to cool 1cpu, 2 gpu's, and the chipset I would get a larger radiator like the BIX 2
 
I would definately look into a 2x120 rad like the bip2 or dual heatercore with that many blocks in the loop, otherwise looks good.
 
I would up the pump to a D5. The Mag is an awesome little pump, I have one myself, but for the amount of tubing and blocks you will be using, more power will probably be needed...
 
Also, DD's Maze Power kit is sort of outdated. The TDX is a vastly better block than the Maze4. Once the D5 gets back in stock @ DD, you can get the combo with the TDX for $100
 
Space for a single 2x120 might be hard to find. Its a prety small case. Space for two 1x120s might be doable. Case

The Res in that kit can accept two inlets and one outlet. Would it work to add a second 1x120 rad and set it up like this?

Pump -> Y -> Rad1 -> CPU -> NB -> Res -> Pump
_ > Rad2 ->GPU1 -> GPU2 ---- ^

Hope that makes sense. basicaly have a seperate rad for the CPU/NB and the GPUs.

Or maybe something like this.

Pump -> Rad1 -> CPU -> NB -> Rad2 -> GPU1 -> GPU2 -> Res -> Pump

Or

Pump -> Rad1 -> Rad2 -> CPU -> NB -> GPU1 -> GPU2 -> Res -> Pump

But im sure I would need a pump with some bigger balls to run any of these options.
