building a new system soon thinking of

Gigabyte P67A-UD7 Intel P67 Chipset (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155

GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5

Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200 High Performance 1200W Power Supply

Corsair Obsidian 800D Full Tower Case

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit

anyone have any suggestions to a good watercooling system? (dont want anything that is cheap and might break in 6 months) also maybe somewhere that will build, dont want to put it together and switch it on and water coming out everywhere.
 
Save money and get some 1600mhz ram, performance is like for like basically.
Crossfire some 6950's which flash to 6970's if your going to spend that much on a GPU.
You really only need like a 850w powersupply and then invest in a SSD.
 
For watercooling the H50 and H70 from Corsair are both well regarded. Whilst they're water setups, similarly priced air coolers are quieter and more efficient. If you're overclocking the sandybridge you'll still not need massive cooling as they don't run as hot as previous chips.
 
Do you really need that mobo too? i would go with the Asus Pro P67 mobo instead, save on ram and maybe lower the card to a 570 and sli it in the future aswell as going with a cheaper PSU 1200w is abit overkill and buy a decent SSD with the spare.
 
revised build need a good air cooler for cpu quiet as possible
