Will i need an extra heatercore?

I'm building my first water cooled system.
plan to use a BIX with 2 120mm fans (push pull)
I plan to have a WW on the cpu and DD Z-Chip Block on the north bridge.
and MCP600 for pump.
I was thinking of getting/ making HD waterblock for 2 hardrives (side mount)
mebe watercool my powersupply as well.
I have enough room(i think) to put a dual 80mm heatercore Black ice micro with
push pull 80mm fans on it as well but do i realy need to?
discussion of point of diminishing returns.
I have a P4C800-E / 2.6 ghz o/c to 3.05 ghz.
I plan 2morrow to get some new ram (Corsair PC4400 512M x 2)
I can overclock it to 250FSB but it crashes on occasion. i'm hoping i can go past that once i have it watercooled.

so should i put the extra Black ice micro in it or not? I have the $$$ now to buy it but may not have it later...
your opinions are very welcome
