Thinking about stepping the game up, dropping some serious coin..

[bstrang6]

Alright, my current hack is running great, and runs just as well as I planned it. But it is a little boring, and wont really run the latest games. I am looking to build another rig, this time big boy style. I want to get into water cooling with a custom loop, cooling the GPU and CPU, and really have slick looking system when its all said in done, that will run through day to day tasks in OSX great, and boot into Win for some serious gaming. I have chosen an SLI capable card and mobo with the intention of slapping another card in down the road, but for now 1 gpu would be all. I am fairly new to custom loops and think I have chosen parts compatible, and sufficient enough for two gpu's and 1 cpu. Heres my parts list

I think I have all bases covered, besides fittings, which I would order after the system is already installed in the case and I can figure out how I want to run everything. Should put me right around 2500 bucks all said in done, am I missing anything? Any recommendations on my parts choice? Any compatibility issues you foresee? Thanks in advance!

As far as parts go, it looks like you have everything. Are you going to top mount or front mount the rad? If top, make certain of clearance from mainboard components/rear fan and front fans.
