You're actually pretty close. It would depend on what his WC loop consisted of, but with water you'll be really close to room temperatures with the right setup.
Even still, if you cheaped out on a few components of the loop, you would get better temps than what you are now.
How much would you want to spend?

I'm thinking that $400 would be the max, but less is better as long as it doesn't mean less quality.
I like coolit's freezone setup, but I have heard that there may be pump problems. So I was considering tec cooling combined with water cooling, but coolit seems to be the only one building it?

I have a Opty 165 which runs hotter than a Core 2 Duo.
My room temps are about 23-24C. My idle temps are usually .5C above ambient. My loads temps are like 30-31C. Oh, plus my PC is nearly silent.
With a good loop, you can get your temps way down.

for the love of god and all that is holy, don't get the freezone.
look around the forums and you can find all sorts of information on good components
you could use these components for instance:
http://www.moddersmart.com/index.php...duct_id=138#15
http://www.svc.com/storm.html
and a good pump, some of the more experience forum surfers such as DuckieHo might be able to help you. Or just read through them your self and see what everyone else is using/suggesting.

get airco ;p
I would idle at 4-5C above whatever room ambient was and load at 7-9C above whatever room ambient was...Thats on a 150 opty at 3019mhz and a 1.55 V-Core....
Something like this would make a decent rig....
CPU..fstfrddy makes us a good block or the Fuzion...
...Stinger Water Blocks
...Fuzion CPU Block
Pump
...D-5
Rad..
...Stealth GTS 360
Rad fan, use a shroud with it to...
...Panaflo 86.5CFM
Tubing...I like this on 1/2" barbs it will flow about as well as full 1/2" and is more compact..
...7/16x5/8" Masterkleer
Full 1/2x3/4"..
...1/2x3/4" Masterkleer

I would get at least a 240 rad for a cpu and a 360 rad for cpu and gpu...You can always hang it on the back of your case on a rad-box...Make a little air diverter out of something to blow the psu exhaust away from the rad..I used a piece of bleach jug that I painted black and made a semi-circle with that blew the air out to the sides you couldn't hardly see it..You can do the same with the GPU exhaust also...
