Now some questions.
Is 750W enough for this setup, and is a Silent Edition power supply worth it? That much quieter?
Is a FrostBite liquid cooling system worth it, or will the Noctua NH-U12P do the job nicely?
Is a 2x 500GB harddrive better than a 1TB harddrive besides quicker defragging?
Is it worth getting the video card/memory frequency overclock?

I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks!

venom is right, we differ in the way that I think 2 x 500GB is better then 1TB HDD, other then that I agree with everything he says, tell us what is your budget? and what resolution will you be gaming at? and we can help you get exactly what you need
