Heres my upgraded layout idea

So i was going to get a waterblock for my card, and a slim 480 radiator for the top of my case. I was hoping to run the loop like so, res->pump->gpu->rad->cpu->res->rad->res.
My plan was to have the cpu go into the top of my res, force the water to move threw the res, and be drawn out the bottom. The idea is to cause move water movement in my res, while also avoiding tubing going infront of my res. Currently before adding anything my res doesnt have any tubing infront of it, i like the look, and hope to keep it that way.
My main concern is, will the water flow well? The bottom would be used as 2 outlets and one inlet. one port going out the side into the front rad, the coming out of the radiator and into the bottom of the res, and then coming out threw the bottom again into the pump.
I also plan on running a monsoon ccfl tube in my bottom rear port, so all 3 of my in/out ports will be coming from the same channel as seen in the following picture

Is that too much water flow for that small area? will i achieve the water movement in my reservoir im looking for?
I do plan on purchasing a multiport top with 5 ports, and a internal tube, that way water going into the top of the res wont splash, because ive read that can cause air bubbles
Is there a better way for me to set this up? im open to idea's. I know it would be easier to simply go from one radiator to the other and avoid going back to the reservoir again, but i really want movement in my res. Kinda bothers how i have it set up now, because its only cycling the water in the bottom of the res
