Those radiators may do the job but are pretty thin, id personally use This radiatorx2 as im using one of these (the 360mm one though) to cool my 920 and a 295 and im getting good temps across the board

That pump res combo, wouldn't go with it. Residual heat produced by the pump dissipates into the water in the res adding heat to your system, while most likely minor its still not helping.

I wouldnt bother with wc for the north bridge. you arent really going to get much out of it, and you will be losing pressure in the loop by adding and un-needed block. If you want to cool the nb, you can probably get good heat sync for it. I dont know how hot the nb gets on an x58 board, but wc sounds overkill to me

The classified stock cooling is more then enough to handle the temps, you shouldnt need to WC them at all.
