My question is about power supplies. As you can see in the build I have the 
corsair 1000w selected. Is the PC power and cooling 910w enough for my system
or should I keep the corsair? I have heard very good things about PC
Power and Cooling as a brand and I do not know much about corsair's units. 
Dropping to the 910 watt would enable me to add a 500GB hd. My budget is roughly
$2750 so I am trying to stay right around $3000 so I get the $250 off with the 
promotion. 

Also I guess while I am posting, as you can see I went with green case lighting 
and blue performance fans. I thought it would make a neat color combo. Does anyone
have experience with mixing the system lighting and case fans or pics of examples 
so I can see how it looks?

Thanks!

Review:
1. I gave you the i7 920 OC'd to 3.3-3.9.
2. I gave you 6GB's of ram 1333 :D.
3. I gave you a 1000w PSU if you upgade in the future.
4. I gave you liquid cooling to reduce noise.
5. If you want to change the colors please do so.
6. Here is your build: 3218$-Discount=2968$.

If you have any questions or comments PLEASE ask.
I'd also like a more experienced member to comment on my build. I'm not to good @ mobo pickin so tell me if that's a good one. And if your not going to be gaming @ 1900x1200 res. tell me so I can tell you how to reconfigure your build.

Thanks for the effort Caleb.

1. I already had that processor OCed to that amount.
2. 1600 ram is $9 more. Silly not to take the 1600.
3. I already had the 1000w psu, the question was whether to back off to the 910 to get other things.
4. I would love to get the frostbite, but it takes too much other stuff away that I want in the build.
5. I already had colors picked, which was the second question :P
6. Like I mentioned... my budget is $2750, not $3000.

I do like the attempt to get the SSD in which I would love to do, but I just could not come up with something I was happy with within my budget including it.

what resolution will you be gaming at? do you really need a bluray drive in there?
