Watercool the NB.
Usually I'd say don't bother as most people won't be putting much voltage through the NB (1.45 ish).
However, you have a SS on the CPU and will be going for some BIG clocks (well you better had be) so you may require higher voltage through the NB, water will cool it much more effectively and give you more head room.

NB gives out bugger all in the way of heat really. A 240 with a few decent fans would just about cope i reckon. Given your still using the blitz for this?
But then theres very little gain in it bar maybe loosing the noise of one fan.
And i hope you've invested in a roll of armaflex tape for this rig btw.

Hmm whats that for? I'll be spraying both the mobo and GPU PSB's back and front with lacquer, greasing around the prone areas and neoprene'ing everything front and back.
The best thing about phase change in an BTX style case like the V2000 is that condensation only has the option of dripping downwards on to the middle of the case rather than all the way down the motherboard

I'd say yes it's worth it and that the 240 should hold the load no problems

Patching anywhere that needs it really. Basically same job as the neoprene, just more trustworthy imo. Its useful stuff to have around if your using any sub-ambient cooling, not essential though (for pre-built phase systems).
And it'll just drip into ya psu & compressor electronics insted of the GPU

the NB will need to be WC if your going for high clocks, you dont want it to over heat and crash in the middle of benching 
Personally im going for this
http://www.thecoolingshop.com/product_info.php/cPath/98_3/products_id/2308
My airflow is great so I thought it looked quite nice and would be a nice neet little thing say next to my CPU water block, dont need water notherbridge block IMO since things like that are fine on it.

lol asking Jim if he wants the maximum overclock is like asking a heroin addict if they want another hit
I just decided yes im going to wc my whole 680i LT iwth mosfet n all why? Because Im getting a bit of money and I want it to look cool.
res -> pump -> cpu -> gpu -> single rad -> nb -> sb -> mosfet1 -> mosfet2 -> triple rad -> res
God thank stacker 830 and its enourmous internal space.
