I have:
Asus Maximus V Formula/ThunderFX which has its own motherboard liquid cooling
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor with a xspc waterblock
also a EVGA gefore 780 graphics card with waterblock.
Koolance RP-452X2 Dual 5.25" Reservoir Rev 2.0 combo with 2 Koolance D5-bare pumps on it.
Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 360mm radiator
and Phobya Extreme 200mm radiator.

What loop order should i do this? im thinking for the first part:
pump/reservoir combo>360mm rad>waterblock>motherboard liquid cooling> back to pump/reservoir combo.
Then for the graphics card cooling:
pump/reservoir combo > 200mm rad > graphics card > back to pump/reservoir combo.

If you guys could help me out and tell me a good loop that would be great, or if my idea is fine please tell me.
 
For a system like that, I dont see any need for a dual loop cooling config. Keep it serial, this will also allow you to drop one of the pumps.

Pump/Res -> It really doesn't matter -> Pump/Res

Unless your care about 1-2°C differences, the flow order in a purely serial loop doesn't matter that much. Just run them in the way that uses the least tubing and has the least number of tubing crossovers (because they look bad).
