A single Laing Vario pump (aka D5, MCP655) should serve you well.

Dual pump?
Hey guys im new to wc but i was wondering if i do dual rad would i need to do dual pump to take strain off of a single or get a single high flow.Im going with two black ice gt rads http://www.frozencpu.com/products/50...?tl=g30c95s161 can you guys recommend me a pump to run in this loop its cpu only for now,but its going to have 2 5870s in it soon

Oh the cpu is going to be either a qX6850 at 4.2 or a b3 q6600

No, one pump will suffice for a water cooling loop, provided that you get a good pump.
For your rig, since you have a few blocks, I'd recommend the Swiftech MCP 355 with the EK Custom Top, or the XSPC custom top.
Good luck with your water cooling endeavour!
Edit: The MCP655 will do just as well. The MCP655 has more flowrate than the MCP355, but less head pressure for pushing through the multiple blocks. The MCP655 also comes with stock 1/2" barbs, but the MCP355 needs a custom top to improve the performance and allow the use of 1/2" barbs.

I had a 655 pushing quite a lot of water through a D-Tek Fuzion CPU block, Swiftech Stealth GPU block, Swiftech MCP30 northbridge block, PA.160 radiator, and BIX 240 radiator. 2 rads, 3 blocks, and it flowed very quickly. However, it's pretty bulky, and I might switch to the 355 when I eventually replace it.

Single MCP 355 with top is me recommendation. I run 4 blocks and a Thermochill radiator all in 1 loop. My temps are wonderful

two loops would be better sharing the same res

Why would you want, say, your mobo block and your video card block, heating up your cpu water? This seems wacky.
Not trying to rhetorically contradict you, I am interested in your reasoning.
