Water cooling advice needed

As the title says I need some advice. I'll start off with what I have then follow up with some questions.

XSPC 750 dual bay resevoir pump
TFC Xchanger 240 rad
TFC Xchanger 360 rad
XSPC RASA CPU block
EK-FC7970 Full Cover Waterblock

Now the questions.

Firstly. Will the pump I have be sufficient for all of this?

Secondly. If not would just a the single 360 rad provide enough cooling for both blocks?

Fans aren't an issue. I have plenty to choose from already ranging from silent low rpm ones up to 3000rpm Scythes.

Thanks.


Edit: I now realise the watercooling section would have been more suitable for this. Anyway to rectify this?

Too many unknowns.

Heat inputs unknown
Activity levels unknown
Ambient temperature unknown
Ventilation of room unknown
Airflow from fans unknown.

The pump will achieve a degree of flow. How much will depend on the overall restriction of the blocks, the rads and the tubing. I suspect the cooling will be effected by that pump and would advise a stronger one.

And really the same answer for the other question. One 360 rad will cool to a point which the pair will exceed.

But without knowing the heat inputs, and their activity levels, it's impossible to give detailed numbers.

Plan on getting a better pump (or another one) and plan on using both rads.
 
I've already been looking at other pumps. I decided theres no point in having all this gear and not using it to its full potential. MCP655 and a dangerden res for me I think. As soon as I have the funds.

Thanks for your input everyone.
