Sounds Pretty Good.

Obviously gonna be expensive.

And obviously you'll need an i7 mobo to match that processor. I'd get a slightly more powerful PSU too, in case you wanna SLI later on.

Get two smaller drives and RAID0 them for better performance. Remember that you have pick out the specific parts for your water cooling also you need to pick out specific parts ie don't just say an "850w PSU" give a specific model (not all 850w PSUs are the same).

Nah that PSU is easily enough for standard SLI, you'ld only need more for something like triple SLI.

Hi Looks like a killer system. I don't know about the liquid cooling

though. I know that the earlier liquid cooling systems required some

maintenance. Maybe the system you selected is more improved. Did

you happen to study your options for air cooling? I know the Thermalright

"TRUE" and the Prolimatech Megahalems work well with the i7 prosessor.

Yeah, sorry about that, i misread the type of Video card he was using. 850W will be ample. :D
