Hi all,
I'm about to build two new gaming PCs for the family and kids, and thought,
since this will be my first attempt at custom water cooling loops, that it
would be a good idea to also tap on the community for some good advice.

Here's the list of stuffs that I'm putting together:

As you can see based on the pictures, I got the CaseLabs Mercury S8 chassis
with the 2 x 120.3 (360) drop-in radiator mounts and ventilated top cover,
and the 120.3 (360) drop-in side radiator mount with the ventilated side panel.
Before making any serious mistakes, I'm curious to know more about the following:

Here's the list of stuffs that I'm putting together:
- Chassis: CaseLabs Mercury S8
- Processor: Intel Core i7-5775C
- Memory: 32GB Kingston HyperX FURY DDR3L 1866MHz
- Graphics: Asus ROG Poseidon GeForce GTX 980 Ti SLI
- Storage: 512GB Samsung PRO M.2 PCIe SSD

Before making any serious mistakes, I'm curious to know more about the following:
- How to setup the loops: CPU block? parallel GPU loops? order?
- Heat dissipation: What size radiators and how many?
- Other components: Pump(s)? reservoir(s)? fill/drain port(s)?
- Ventilation/airflow: How many fans? types? location?
