You won't be able to cool them all in parallel---the pump won't be putting out that much water! It'd be....a trickle.
When you watercool, there isn't a huge difference in the temps from the in and the out, so it should do fine.
In the diagram that I made, I took the heat into account.
The CPU is the biggest heat producer, so I didn't connect it to anything else.
The GPU is the next largest heat producer, but it isn't as much as the CPU, which is why I said to connect the GPU's out to the northbridge's in. Also, I wanted the GPU to have the colder water.
You don't have to have everything supercold--as long as everything isn't overheating, you're fine. It's just not worth it to spend extra time and money on parallel cooling just to get a few degrees cooler.
Now, if he wants to, that's a completely different story, and I'll gladly help him. But, I was just trying to keep things simple.
