You don't really need the stage 4 I would upgrade your Hard Drive to a 1tb that will run faster. If you don't plan on adding another 5870 in the future the 750W Corsair will work fine.

If you do decide to go with LC, I suggest you specify which radiator you want installed.

If you want liquid cooling it looks great, but as mentioned keep in mind you don't need it, maybe a ssd is a better choice but that is up to you of course. I mean you can always add HDDs and SSDs later.

If you are going to OC the video cards yourself wouldn't having them LC'd allow you to overclock them better?

the water blocks like Koolance will actually lower your overclock potential, because they do not cool the most important part, the digital VRM's, so air will get better overclocks, just be very loud, EK, or Swiftech water blocks will cool the VRM area better, but even on air a 20% overclock is pretty norm.

Yes i wll be going with LC simply for the fact i like the way it makes the inside look nice and clean. adding SSD''s is a project that i have lined up for the future. i dont think i will be LC the GPU any time soon for as little gain as i hear it does for them. and besides i dont need any thing that extream.

thats cool, try not to get too worked up till you get the pc, cause its gonna take them a week or so to build it and test it, so try to contain yourself as much as you can

over my wife's system from DS( her's broke down first
) and my tax return will be here soon and have convenced the wife that it was time for me to get mine. Ok on to the nuts and bolts of it am currently running a P.O.S. Dell P4 That will no longer handle what i want to do, so my budget is a hard $2500 i am not a hard core gamer so i dont need max settings just want to be able to run any game i choose smoothly. I currently have a ASUS 24" monitor at 1900X1200 that i will use. I would like to have it either stage 3 or 4 water cooling.
