I would say maybe 55C (if you're lucky) to 65C is your temp range at load. I think the MCR320 only drops temp by 3-5C with same fans, not exactly sure.

I also have to somehow figure out how i'm going to make a shroud or where to buy one from. I should prolly worry about all this when my order actually comes in

Is it worth it? That depends on how much you want to add to the loop such as GPUs and NB/SB. For a quad only loop, I think the MCR320 will suffice.

You can just buy a couple extra Yates to use as shrouds. Gut them (fan blades, support legging things, and motor) so you only have the plain housing left and that's a good, cheap shroud.

Ok so this would be like fan stacking with two fans, only gutting the insides of the bottom fan? I'm guessing I would have to head over to home hardware to get longer screws to support the rad, the shroud and the fans?

Yes, the 220/320 should be enough for a CPU only loop.

Just gut the fans and have the actual fan in front of the shroud for push and behind it for pull.
