If I add a shroud, I will have to remove one of the fans. I think I'll try on fan/shroud combo pulling air across the rad. This should be better than the two fans?
A lot of people have mentioned that the nb being water cooled is useless and adds more tubing and another drop point. I think I'm going to remove it and get something like you mentioned.

The flow is as follows right now: cpu->chipset->gpu->pump->rad->res->cpu

I am not directly pushing into the res. If I chose to go pump->res->rad->cpu instead of pump->rad->res->cpu I would have unneccessary head loss by going up and down them back up.
I cut out all the metal directly in front of the rad. However about 2 inches in front of it is the front of the coolermaster case. There are some holes drilled into the wavey front by default but if need be the fan can draw more air in from inside the case. I added a closeup pic of the rad setup.
OKay, so I've gathered that I should remove the nb block and get rid of one fan to fit a fan/shroud combo? I think I'm going to have to go with one of those cheap rubbermaid shrouds that are homemade.
