I would start with the fact that a radiator can only (at best) get water as cool as the air blowing into the radiator. If you design your system so that the radiator has a constant supply of fresh outside air then your CPU temperatures will benefit. The original black ice has a huge pressure drop; take that as you will.
You still are not totally defining your goals. Think of what you want out of the system in terms of: Noise level desired, compact size and/or looks, balls out performance, or a mix of all. If a mixture than rate your priorities. If you are recycling some parts then that may affect your choices.
