Orev,
With a water-cooled system, you should be able to get the temps back down to 40C.
I suspected that your chipset might be hot, because you're running a dual CPU board. So go ahead and water-cool it too. I'd still hold off on the GPU, until you've got something running and some new numbers. A graphic card usually doesn't need its cooling system replaced.
I am a proponent of water cooling for the same reason: it's quieter.
Do you have any pics of your system? It'd be nice to see a Before and After series of shots.
