I want to cool these components on one loop using a 360 rad. I wish not to mod my case or have an external loop.

i7 930 OC
NB/SB
2x5870s OC

Which rad would you recommend? Many sites don't list the specs of the rads, like wattage rating.
 
First of all, what case?

That sounds like a hell of a load for a 360mm rad of any kind. CPU 175W, GPUs 180-200 each. With the kind of temps you would be seeing I would leave the NB/SB off the loop. You'll get a better OC by keeping your coolant temps down. There isn't really a wattage rating for a rad because it depends on too many variable. coolant temp, airflow, ambient temps. The stickied triple radiator review by skinnee will tell you quite a bit about what you want to know. For that load you would probably want something that performs well with high rpm fans.
 
You need the rad with the highest Fins Per Inch because you'll be running 6x 4000 RPM Deltas that push 250CFM @ 100 Decibels. Fan > Shroud > Rad > shroud > fan
