sorry mate having an awful day today and i apologize.
If I had 5k to blow on a pc, I would ask Nath to build me a dual xeon water-cooled with tri ski 580s
Watercooling should definitely be done. Hell, I've spent 2.5k on my pc including water-cooling and it looks incredible, have a click on my sig, it takes you to the build
Buy the SR2 system that OC sells and be done with it.

Can you request the parts instead of it pre built? The only reason I wouldn't buy a pre built system, is because its pre built and about a 3rd of the fun of having a new PC is the ability to build it .
If this computer is solely for gaming, an SR2 and dual - Xeon CPU setup is not necessary.
Personally, I'd:
A) Get a i7-2600k for its bargain price - then upgrade to Ivy Bridge or Bulldozer when it comes out
B) Go for an i7-990x or 980x and get G1 Series Motherboard

I do not even know why I spent close to half my architecture grant ($17,500) on my computer.. Hardly anything comes close to stressing my setup
