Quick question regarding setup

I'm getting my EK 5870 waterblock tomorrow and started brainstorming on whether or not I might need to use my second 120.2 rad to cool both the GPU and CPU.

I'm currently using a GTX 360 cooling my W3520. Can I just add my 5870 to the loop or should I rearrange my setup to accommodate my GTX 360 + 120.2 rads.

Thanks for the help.

I would place the 2nd rad after the cpu that way the water has a chance to cool down before it hits the gpu. I dont like the idea of hot fluid from cpu being dumped into the gpu just my opinion.
