Welcome!
I suspected you might make the jump from OC... especially since the block came from here!
Plastic would be better, yes. Couple it with a good thread sealer (Loctite, the one that's not going to dissolve the plastic), and you'd be set.
Otherwise, it turns out that it doesn't perform extremely well, and certainly won't beat any of the popular commercial blocks available now, but it will get you into watercooling.
I understand your budget needs, but you could do better with any copper block.
