I'd argue for more on Rads and fans, especially if you plan to expand at some point

I just spent 1,500 in watercooling gear and a case for a 3 GPU / CPU loop.

If it is for mining, use these mad silverstone fans instead:
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?scase=c_180&pid=344&area=en
They concentrate the pushed air into more of a column to obtain higher SP. Even if you dont use them on rads, this is essentially what you want to use to direct large amount of airflow at something. They also come with the bonus of being able to operate at insane speeds, which is ideal for you since itl be in the garage away from people and cooling is top priority.
If it is a mining rig then rather than WCing, a testbench + two of these would give you decent enough cooling for mining, whilst being MUCH cheaper and easier, with less down time. They also come with its own fan controler, so they don't blow cheaper fan controler's channels.
These are however, 32mm thick, so make sure you can mount them!
I have a pair of the older versions i used for a 200mm phobya rad and out of all the fans i tried, these easily worked the best.
