I understand not wanting to mix metals like full nickle/aluminium/copper together; but what's the deal with nickle plated?

I understand that copper is the best after silver in terms of conductivity resulting in better heat dissipation so nickle plated gives that natural metal look with almost identical performance as copper. So if I were to get a nickle plated copper CPU block and GPU block, does that mean I shouldn't get a full copper piped radiator?
