Looks nice.
The only thing that i don't like is the bend between the Ram block and the CPU block.
It looks like it is putting stress on the CPU socket.

yeah right 
my specs: i7 4770k 4.0ghz, msi z87 g45, asus r9 280x dcii, 2x8gb corsair 2400mhz,corsair hx1050
water loop: ek-Supremacy Elite cpu block, EK-FC R9-280X DCII (Original CSQ) - Nickel, EK-RAM Monarch X2 - Acetal ram block, EK-CoolStream PE 360/AX240 Dual Radiator, D5 Photon 170 Tube Reservoir/D5 Vario Pump, 7/16 5/8 tubing
*the alt+prtscn doesnt work!

Thanks for giving some info!
The loop order is fine as the rule is to just have the res/t-line before the pump. Cooling ram is a waste of money and flow rates as it literally yields nothing performance wise. If it was for looks/hell of it, go for it... but ram blocks are restrictive.
You have plenty of rad... how does the flow look? What are your ambient temperatures? fan speeds? What does the airflow look like (seems ok from what I can see).
Alt+Prtscn works... YOu have to then paste the image in paint and save it... make sure the windows you want to capture is active/on top.

Look at the bottom radiator's fans is not facing the right position. You should flip the fan over or place the fan on the bottom. Right now your fan are NOT pushing air thru the radiator, rather only pulling it. With low rpm fan, only pulling setup is not the best way. Perhaps your top radiator is setup the same way? If it is, you need to flip them over.
The temp in your room is 30-32C? That is warm and explains most of the warm idle temps... I would still expect it to be lower idle...
Now, off the idle temps... what are your load temperatures (stress testing using Prime 95 Small FFT).
