hi, im doing my first gaming rig, could any tell me if i should have a single or dual loop, i planned to go

pump (mcp655 laing d5 vario)
res (i havent chose one yet but if i need dual loop then koolance rp 452x2)
360mm rad with push pull
cpu (i7 3770k, i want to get it at minimum 4.5ghz)
motherboard (asus maximus v extreme rog)
ram (32gb corsair dominator 1866 but will clocked to max)
560mm rad with push pull
3 x hd 7970's (maxed out)
280mm rad with push pull
and back to pump and round and round

i want to max it all out so will a single loop be good enough cooling with that pump or should i get a second pump and do

pump
res
360mm rad
cpu
motherboard
ram
280mm rad
pump and so on

and

pump
res
560mm rad
3 x 7970's
pump and so on

thanks for any help and advice in advance
 
Do it in a single loop with 2 pumps in series, just after the res :)
Routing should be whatever is shortest / easiest

D5's are expensive for what they are, personally I use 2 EK dcp 4.0's as they have a higher head pressure
 
Another vote for dual pumps single loop.

Though I agree with Andy, if buying from scratch dual DCP 4.0's would be a cheaper option, you already have one D5 so adding another may work out cheaper, you'd probably snag a second hand pump for £35-50 complete with aftermarket top.
