It depends on how much of the stuff you listed you'd like to watercool. From what I've seen, hdd waterblocks are kinda pricey, and I have no idea about ram blocks. I'd say somewhere in the range of 200-300 would get you a pretty good kit for your cpu, gpu and chipset. But, once you're in the building process, you might (as happens to me) find a lot of little things you need that can drive up the price.
Those ATI chipsets don't put out much heat, so blocks on them aren't really needed. Just go with CPU and GPU.

60$ for a good CPU waterblock (Danger Den TDX or Storm)
45$ for a NB waterblock, as the chipset fan will probably be the loudest thing in your system at this point. (Danger Den Maze4)
75$ for a good pump (Swiftech MCP655)
35$ for a 2.120mm Black Ice Pro radiator
8$ for 2 yate loons at Jab-Tech.com.
10$ for 10ft of Masterkleer Tubing.
60+45+70+35+10+8 = 228$ if you buy new.
You can probably get all of this for sub 150$ if you buy used (Black Ices go for less than 30, Maze's go for like 30, pumps for around 45$ etc.)
I dont know how to watercool your GPU as I'm an Nvidia man (not particularly by choice, just because of price/performance ratio at the time I bought my card)
Jab-Tech lists all of this, and IMO have the cheapest prices across the board... (the closest petras kit is 205$ + shipping for only the CPU block, no chipset).

ATI chipsets are really, really low heat output, so there's no need to cool them, cause they're already passive. Aside from that, don't forget your hose clamps.

Hmm, good to know. Althouth I'll never need an ATI chipset I bet. Hmm, that masterkleer tubing works REALLY WELL without any clamps. I bought 30ft of the stuff and just cut it off if I re-loop... it's IMPOSSIBLE to remove without heating.
