You cant compare custom water-cooling to anything else its by far the best method of cooling available and is worth it if the goal is to achieve a maximum overclock. If your not planning to overclock then its not worth it, a high end after market air cooler will more then suffice at a fraction of the price.

Whether custom-watercooling is worth it depends on what you want.
Price/performance - In no way is it worth it, it simply costs too much to consider going at it from a value angle.
Pure performance - Yep, custom water-cooling will get you better performance than air heatsinks or any CLC water-coolers if you make your loop right.
Aesthetics - Water-cooling can look amazing.
To advance yourself as an enthusiast or as a hobby - This is arguably why most people water-cool their rigs, because they just want too. Its a perfectly valid reason IMO, its not like I really need the water-cooling on my rig.
If your interested in custom water-cooling, the water-cooling sticky is the place to start. Will explain everything you need to know to get a basic idea of what your doing.
