so thats what my build will be like

i know there's no gpu thats because im thinking of waiting for the keplers to come out, i do have a couple of spare gpus hanging around at home.

Also cooling what would be viable, watercooling (cpu + gpu) or just cpu cooling?

If you're waiting for Kepler, you should wait for Ivy Bridge as well ^_^

Like I told you before, watercooling is a waste of money (which can be invested into other areas of the PC)

But it's pretty cool though.

This basically.

Watercooling can become a pain when wanting to clean

do you think it'll be similar price though?

Dont get water, you dont need it at all, i got mine watercooled and when i had it i got better temps etc, but on air the temps woulda still been good. it looks boss etc but yeah its not needed unless you have money to waste.

If you're looking for some watercooling without maintenance and a 5 year warranty, you could just look at a Corsair H60. It's a cheap pre-built ready to run cooler that is much more efficient than the stock intel. It also requires zero maintenance. I have the H80 (H60's big brother) and it's sweet, nice and silent and my PC stays frosty! =)

Might I suggest these parts for your PC (if you want it now):

CPU: i5 2500k
Mobo: ASUS P8Z68 V-LE (if you plan on minimal overclocking, only single GPU support)
RAM: Corsair C9 blue fin 1600MHZ DDR3 8GB
DVD: Any
GPU: Wait for keplar, use one of GPU's at home
PSU: Silverstone Strider 750W (incase you get a 680 or something, depends on what keplar GPU you want)
CASE: Bitfenix Shinobi window, corsair 500R - both good
SSD: 60GB Corsair Force 3 SSD for OS - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
HDD: Most are same, I guess seagate or samsung are best
OS: Win7 home premium 64bit

If you are gonna end up waiting for Ivy Bridge CPUs (which I would recommend doing as they have significant gains) I would disregard this build and ask when Ivy is out.

get a h100
i have one


miiiiiiiiiiiiiiint

get a board that will take ivy bridge aswell as full sata 6gbs and pciExpress 3.0
