Not a bad kit, BUT :

personally I dont see the point of cooling the chipset. Adds restriction and the cooling does not provide with a significant impact. Normally, if your case is well ventilated, the northbridge will be alright.

Second, for a 775 cpu you could use the swiftech GTZ, NCIX.com - Buy Swiftech APOGEE GTZ LGA775 CPU Water Block G1/4 Chrome HI-FLOW 1/2IN Barb Fittings - APOGEE-GTZ In Canada.
a good block wich certainly be enough for your targeted OC and you save 40 !.

Noctua fans aren't cheap, You could use cheaper fans like yate Loons and use a fan controller if you want to undervolt them.

Let me try a cheaper kit :

cpu : GTZ

Mcr 320 - 48.24 Direct canada

pump :
