This is a debate I'm having myself: why bother water-cooling the chipset? I could get a quiet little 40mm fan HS, and epoxy the thing on there. Your setup is different though. Does your chipset get hot? because if it gets barely hot, just a heatsink with no fan would do the job, even if you have no fans in your case.
As for the GPU, I'm just not willing to go that way, yet... I guess you're going for an over-clock? You might want to wait to see what you can suck out of your system, before you decide to w-cool the GPU.
Got any numbers yet?

My thinking with doing the cooler one first is that even with the added heat, the delta temp would be higher when it reaches the hotter one. Though, they are only 2C difference right now, so I doubt it really matters. I'll probably wind up doing whatever order is easiest when I run the tubing.
My numbers for the air cooled system are about 50C each... not so great, I know, but I'm using the heatsinks that came in the package, so AMD must say they're OK. Max temp is 90C.
Hopefully I'll be on H2O soon though.
