Loop Help..

Can someone please help me work out my best design for my loop? I have a corsair 800D and I am looking to upgrade from a dual radiator to a tripple.

Currently this is my setup:

Do I keep the fans pointing the way they do, or is that wrong?
Should I put a 90 degree on my res so I can still put the hose straight up into the rad and then rad to CPU, GPU, Pump, RES like it is now?

Should it be something completely different?

Thanks

EDIT: If I was to add a tripple rad at the top, then a single rad on the back would that be too much flow for the one pump? Or will it manage ok? Would it work with just a double radiator at the top then a single on the back to help towards the graphics cooling and the double doing the CPU?

Sorry yes that's how it is set up... I have a Liang DDC, so the res feeds in the top and pump pushes it out the side I believe?

Would I be better getting a single rad over 1 tripple rad to go between GPU and CPU so that it cools the water down a bit after it has passed through the GPU?

Anyone before I order my parts?

Am I better to have a tripple rad that feeds:
RAD > RES > PUMP > GPU > CPU > back to RAD

OR

A double rad and a singe rad:
D RAD > RES > PUMP > GPU > S RAD > CPU > back to D RAD

Thanks

What will be the most efficient cooling? Will having a single rad between the GPU and CPU make a difference? I can make either of them look a way I am happy with and not messy. It just depends which will give the best effect. I am assuming a single in between will help because if the GPU is say 60 degrees, then my CPU will never get below that if both are working hard?

Ok great thank you

I only have a DDC in my loop, I just know the D5 is good
