First custom loop sanity check

Hello you wonderful people,

I was hoping to get some insight from you guys about the plan I made for my custom loop. It'll be bulit some time early next year

The plan (the lines for tubing are so floppy cause the program I used it stupid sorry for that, just imagine them doing 90° bends)

Now obviously the is a huge loop in a huge case, but from watching some videos, I think with enough time and patience I can do it .

Before you ask, yes this loop is supposed to be cooling both systems, it's the reason I'll be buying that case, controlling the fans has also mostly been figured out already and can be elaborated on if needed.

However I want to make sure that what I have currently planned is actually going to work and that I missed nothing, I have read and watched several guides and am farily certain that I got everything but would still love it if you guys could look over it and tell me if I made any mistakes.

Should there be any questions as to how or why anything on this list exists please do ask away I will happily answer your questions.

I'll also be buying the bending toolkit and tubing beforehand to play around with it and get a feel for bending so I'll not have to learn it all when I am in the process of building.

Loop order will be Pump 1-> GPU 2-> GPU 1 ->CPU 1 ->560mm rad->560mm rad->Pump 2 ->CPU 2 -> 560mm rad-> 560mm rad->280mm rad-> 360mm rad-> Pump 1 if that matters.

Lastly I have a few questions that weren't really cleared up by googling.

Firstly, Silver coils vs CuSO4 vs other biocides? The forum posts I checked were very divided on that topic. I'll just be using plain distilled water, no colors or anything.

Secondly, Acrylic vs PETG? Jays video showed the differences pretty well but I feel that he overplayed the argument of it Acrylic shattering a bunch.

Thirdly, I tried picking the best performers in every category(rad&, fans and pumps), if there is anything that is significantly better please do point it out!

Fourthly, will I be fine with 2 Pumps for this kind of loop? 1 won't work for sure but looking at the loop order I feel that even 2 could get iffy.

Thank you for reading this wall of text and I hope I got the formatting right so it stays readable.
