Drop the watercooling and get good fans. Also get this motherboard instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131142 I wouldn't really reccomend MSI motherboards.

the only thing im wondering is if you need sli for a 20" screen, if you want to spend the money, why not just get an 8800 ultra or something.

If you don't know how to do watercooling don't do it. And don't buy watercooling kits from Newegg.
