The GPU waterblocks themselves already run you approx $100+ per block, so if I were you I would sell your 560's and maybe get a GTX 590. (even though its overpriced as hell)
Personally, I am a fan of only watercooling high end enthusiast GPU's. With the money you spend on the actual waterblocks, you can use that money and upgrade to a higher end card.

GTX590 = $700.
I don't think water cooling would cost quite that much, and I'm more looking to make the rig quieter...

Hm, maybe just the new case then. Right now it's non-existent cable management, completely messed up.

are you sure its not other fans in your computer that is creating the excessive noise?
also, do you have sound deadening in your case?

Some no-name case I got on CL for $20. And I'm pretty sure it's not the other fans, the other fans are Gelid Wing 12's which are pretty quiet. It's definitely the video cards ramping up. No sound deadening in the case either, it's very old school.
