Best custom loop config?

Hello all, I'm thinking about doing a custom loop in a phantek enthoo pro but I'm not entirely sure what config I should have. Thus far I've come up with the following but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Don't worry about putting a rad between components. Just route it in the simplest/prettiest way, which would be pump>GPUs>CPU>rad>rad in your case.

Also, what are your components? Just checking to make sure you have enough rad sapce, as 360mm total for two cards and a cpu is a little borderline or simply inadequate depending on what you're running.

Hi, would be running 2 r9 380 and an i5 4440 , yes I know wc may seem abit overkill for these but its more about temps/noise for me + I really enjoyed my last custom loop (its all about the looks really) also going to use a 360mm at the top instead of a 240mm as its not much more expensive so would be 480mm total now.

Also, this is all planning at this point so I don't even know if there is blocks for the 380s, in which case i'd either go cpu only or use nzxt g10s for the gpus

Theres no full cover blocks for 380's,you could use Ek-theremosphere blocks tho,these are universal GPU waterblocks.A single 360mm radiator should be fine for your hardware as your not running power hungry components.
