RES>CPU>RAD>GPU, but as mentioned earlier it does not make much difference, as long as you keep the tubes as simple as possible...
Adding another RAD is always a good idea, I have just added a 3rd 120mm RAD in push only config and that lowered CPU temperatures by 3C, but it is not a must, if your current RAD is big enough it should handle both GPU and CPU.
In my setup the GPU, even heavily overclocked (HD7850@1200MHz) does not dissipate too much heat into the loop sitting just a degree or 2 above the coolant temps and that is under full load.
