I am looking at the OcUK 7970 but my case fan space is limited to a single and I really would like to add the CPU into the loop. The V6 kit seems a good base setup, I was thinking to add a VGA block and another radiator to the loop. Something like Res/pump > CPU > rad1 > GPU > rad2 > Res/pump.

Would this work well?
 
Case: Antec P180
Planned CPU/mobo/Gfx: 3570k, MSI Z77 GD65, ATI 7970 OcUK H2O

inside of the case is like this:

fans:
front case intake: sharkoon golfball IN
rear top: sharkoon golfball OUT
push CPU cooler: Viper s-flow
pull CPU cooler: Viper s-flow
rear case CPU: Viper s-flow OUT
PSU bottom pull: random corsair thing

FWIW current: QX9650 / megahalems on P5Q-E with ATI 6970

Okay, I went a bit nuts on fans ;)

Would the V6 kit work? Would it pump well enough through three rads? Also, is it preferable to have the two at the front or the rear? My first though would have been to have rear, top and front, but I am very much noob at this tbh. Also how would that setup work?

Pump/GPU/rad/rad/CPU/rad ?

Why is that exactly? Is it the pumps themselves thats noisy? The main issue I have is not case or CPU fans but the ATI graphics which is like a vacuum cleaner.
