am hoping though that a "better" design will be implemented though by the time this build gets put together (stupid circles)

I did make a mock up of the rig in paint.net as a reference since a pictures tells a thousand words lol and it inlcudes all of the possible fittings that i can have set up. (may be a bit hard to see them at some spots)

1. Here goes 1st ques would this loop order work out any? bay res>pumps in serial>res tube>280 rad>gpu>cpu>vram>480 rad> i dont think it will work out (maybe with older less heat producing parts but not these one.) I know at some point the loop will reach a equilibrium and all and that it is moving pretty fast as well. The main thing I want to know is how to configure my tubing that will make the sleekest design possible and run tubing through the top panel like how mbo did in his Sponsored Mass Effect Build (I'm liberality scratching my head
lol trying to figure a route that will go from bay res>pump>tube res>cpu>vram>480 rad>gpu>180 rad> bay res but will utilize tubing going underneath the top bezel, help!!!! Also will one litter of coolant be fine with 535mm of coolant will be used to just fill the two reservoirs and am hoping the remaining amount will be enough for all of the rest of the components.
2. In the hardrive cage that will now become a pump station, is it still possible to have a hard drive in there lets say above the pumps and their ek pump tops? I know there are bay resorvoirs that incorprate dual pumps on it lk the RP-452X2 Dual 5.25in Reservoir for 1-2 PMP-450/S Pumps, Rev.2.0 but this config is 34 bucks cheaper
3. I have not yet decided what fans I want. Either NZXT FZ-140mm or maybe some Akase AK-FN063 which I can't seem to find any type of test to verify Akase claims on the specs. Since the Nexxos rad works great in all ares of rpms it really broadins the choice of fans. Silent is key here no noisy fans.
How would white leds look on a red spinng fan? Also since I want to keep the cost down as low as possible and the MVF has 8 4 pin fan ports I want to use that instead of a $30 fan controller. Do the D5's need a fan blowing on them to stay cool, since there is the option of having the fan blow into the pump station i'tt be easy but the prob is I have the 2 pumps with a rpm reader on it that needs to be plugged into the mobo as well so if I have 5 fans only pulling air from the rads (have read they perform best this way with only one fan) and there are 2 case fans (one rear of the case and the other at the pump station) plus the 2 pumps that means I need 9 fan ports
short one port
4. Last question is what will it take to make that 480 rad fit in the top of the switch 810 case?
