I am going to have 2 loops in my setup. I have an XSPC dual bay/loop/pump res that has 2 seperate res in side and 2 ddc pumps mounted right to them. Now I plan on starting off cooling just my q9400 with one loop and a single GTX280 with other. But I plan on adding more water blocks to the set up to include NB/pci-e, 2x Mosfet, Second GTX280, and pending a good deal maybe SB and 2x koolance memory blocks..all 4 sticks ram. The radiators I have is a triple and dual 120mm. All cooled with yate loon medium speed fans, although I do have 2 high speed fans if better for dual radiator. Now I know theres going to be people who say some these dont need water cooling like memory or southbridge, but as I said its pending good deals on blocks. Now I have a few questions on opinions:

1. For the begining which radiator should I use for the cpu and which for gpu?
2. What should be in each loop at the end once I get more blocks?
3. What should be the order blocks in final setup?
4. As a survey what two UV colors should I use? (Was thinking orange or green and blue)
 
As far as color goes, that's all up to you, haha. I would personally put the triple 120 on the two GPUs (your sig says you have two GTX280s right?) and the dual 120 on the CPU and rest of the chipset.
 
I know color is up to me just kinda polling what ppl think. And What you suggested is close to what I had in mind. looking for other opinions out there.
 
I personally went with clear, but I have black lines anyway, so it'd be kinda wasted. I guess that's always an option.
