Relax a little, I used to run an AMD T-Bird 1.333 at 1.6ghz / 145FSB / 1.95v without water cooling. This is about 115 watts. Your only looking at around 85 watts with your setup.
CPU temps should be about 20C over ambiant with good air cooling (WBK38 w/Delta, and a 120mm intake / exhaust).
If you run the setup your looking at (the best), you could cool at least 250 watts to within 15C of Ambiant, or yours to about 6c of ambiant (OEM computers usually run 50-55c Core).
For pumps the Eheim is king of reliability (if you got money to burn) but a 1048 will have more than enough flow (160gph IMP) for a system without peltier, and may actually be cooler w/out pump heat and slower flow threw Rad. The Danner Mag-Drive #2 (250gph STD in-line or submersible) is just as long lasting and half price, but remember to add sealant to head gasket (they can suck up air).
As for waterblocks I personally love the DD Maze 2 as they cool best and have an awesome hold-down included (making them relatively well priced)
For Rads your picking the best unit for large Wattage setups (read peltier) but a 6x5 like the BE Cooling standard unit for $30 will cool within 1 or two degrees of this rad even overclocked. If peltiers are in the future then spend the money.
Any decent entry level water cooling solution will cool your crazy 1.4ghz well below the best air cooled units. With the setup above, you can get some 85cfm 120mm case fans (35db type) and sleep also, with CPU around 6-8 degrees C over ambiant room. For you medium quality to best will only yeald 2-3 degrees, cost twice as much and run 2-3 times louder.
