Hello,
 I have 2 questions on this build,  Is it possible to water cool the video card only? (Noctua NH-U12P for the cpu).

And is it worth setting up 2 solid state drives in raid 0? (2 80GB Intel X-25).
Or get 1 160GB...

Using this rig for mostly for games. And sometimes audio & video encoding, internet...
Budget $3000.00
I'll be using my 24"monitor (Samsung 245BW) and speakers (Klipsch 5.1) from my current setup.
 
 Thank you for your time

yes just email them directly, im told this should be coming to the configurator
 
And is it worth setting up 2 solid state drives in raid 0?
avoid raid with SSDs, useless for almost any application, and terrible price for the performance

And from what Dragoon was saying in another thread I think the 160G Intel SSD is going to have some good performance by itself.

SSDs in RAID do not support TRIM, so I'd also recommend not RAIDing them.
