Pump + Rads Question

I decided on a new build.

I have a 4770k along with Crossfire 290's. Will a single D5 variant be enough to push water through those blocks along with 2 480mm radiators? If thats enough, how many more rads can I add that wont overpower the single pump?
 
And what 480 brand/model would you recommend for the 900D case. I pretty much have all components besides the case/fans/rads, everything else is ready
 
One pump will most likely be fine. My D5 pushed water though a Black Ice GTS 420 and a Black Ice GTX 360 (two of the most restrictive radiators on the market).

Since low speed fan cooling would most likely be the priority for you, I would recommend the Alphacool UT60, or the Monsta if it fits.
 
I'm going with dual xspc ax480s in my 900d with a single d5.. My d5 has been doing fine with my dual 7950's, xspc CPU block and 9x140 rad with no issue for a while now.
 
That's a thick rad hope you have some high static pressure fans for those.. I'm all about quite lol I don't even want to know it's on..
 
Watch out because the Monstas may not fit in the bottom of the 900D.
 
I planned to put just one on the bottom and one on too.

If not those, what's the next best 480 option to go with to cool my setup really well?
 
Well, a single Monsta may not fit on the bottom of the 900D due to the thickness. Remember it has to share room with the PSU as well.

The next best thing would be its little brother, the UT60. It is identical to the Monsta except for the thickness. If that doesn't fit either, the XT45 should work.
 
I think ill go with Makers choice as well, XSPC AX480 for top and bottom. Read some good things about them. Monstas are only about .5 of a degree better, but the added cost + space limitations arent worth the headache.

Thanks for all your help guys.
