w/ 2 rads and 2 blocks... I'd do pump>res>cpu>rad1>gpu>rad2. or you could do something with a y connector... res>pump>Y>cpu&gpu>rads1&2>Y

p.s. before u go for this setup wait for someone who REALLY knows about watercooling, it works ok for me, but then again i didnt have heat problems to begin :)

How do you use a watercooling for a hardrive?

:? What is the point of 2 resevoirs? Is it so that you don't have to refill your system as much?

I'm contemplating (and very new at) water cooling and never heard of 2 res in a setup.

make the two resevoirs act as one... I think that's the best way to do it

Since you are having two reservoirs for looks, then put them anywhere in the loop (like what Cagedconnerman said).

pump -> CPU -> GPU ( -> chipset) -> Rad -> res1 -> res2 -> pump again...

Can you send us the link to this quad 120mm fan radiator?
I would assume they are okay but you would have to have enough room for it. If you don't have room, you could maybe get two double 120 rads since it offers a bit more flexibility.
