I would also recommend a TDX block if you go Dangerden (although, just to be fair, Swiftech makes some good blocks too). The installation of the RBX is more difficult because of the three hoses (1 inlet and 2 outlet).

Also, don't get the D4 if you like quiet. The DDC (which Dangerden is also carrying) is quite a nice pump. The D4 (even the muffled revision) has an annoying whine. You might lose a degree or four Celsius of cooling by going to the DDC (depending upon the restriction in your loop). However, that is a tradeoff you'd have to make.

The northbridge probably doesn't need to be watercooled (it might easily do well with passive cooling or a very quiet fan on a heatsink). For overclocking, you might benefit.
