Right guys bit overdue and upgrade so looking at spending a few quid

current system stands as

Antec 900 case
OCZ gamex 730 psu (the blue modular one)
evga 680 sli
q6600 (b3 sigh)
8800 gtx
4 2gb corsair ddr2
couple of 500 gig drives although I dropped one a few nights ago dusting and its sounding a little dodgy now
and just ordered a samsung 256 ssd which ill probably replace the dodgy drive with

so as you can see a touch over due

Taking over the drives psu and current dvd rws which are sata im looking at a new case for water cooling as the 900 is a little cramped and graphics memory mobo and cpu

As below this is what ive come up with so far

with the blue pastel water

im going to ask them to change the cpu block to a nickel plexi and the out of stock typhoons to the pro white fans for a full black blue and white look

What id really like to do is add a 670gtx and water cooled block to that with the theory of doing cpu to 3 rad to graphics to 2 rad loop with the 2nd rad being at the bottom near the psu but im just wondering

a) with a triple rad already would I need the second double rad for the gfx?
b) if not would it be worth asking ocuk to upgrade the rad and fans to the 420 xtreame instead as the case can take it?
c) what would be the best 670gtx to go for as there arnt any 670 blocks and I know only a few take the full 680 blocks

lastly anything you guys would change?

I did consider it but as it wasnt just watercooling it was a full system setup question I figured here would be better

thanks for the tip though, is it politically correct to open a thread in water cooling pointing to this one or should I close this and open another or ask a mod to move it?
 
I would open a thread in the link, in regards to the watercooling queries and link this thread. You can still get advice here on your build.
