Which will of course be the new bottleneck in your system...

Really straining to be polite here (seems kinda cheeky to just copy the great BillA in his responses, but that sort of reply is really deserved here), but do you actually know what the thermal capacity of water is?
I suggest you look it up (any high school physics textbook should have it in there somewhere, as will the internet). Then calculate for the heat load you will be putting into the water and expected water flow rates what the temperature difference across the water blocks will be.
Then, when you've done that, come back and explain to us why an effective drop in the water temperature of about 0.1 deg C across the graphics block is offset by the losses of around 5 deg C from using tiny radiators and massively increased cost from making the whole setup more complicated!
