Just a few questions; first would this list all be compatable, as i am not really that experienced in building. Secondly, would you recommend water cooling or extra cooling if so what would you recommend? Is there anything i have missed? Oh this will be used for gaming and general use on a 22" samsung. Thanks for any advice.

Why i decided to go with i7 is, it's the best there is now. I have a system what is like 5 years old, so i hardly upgrade and my current system is not worth the trouble to upgrade, so hence me treating my self. I updated the list, thanks for the advice. I am really considering buying a 28/30", we'll see.

I know it's a bit cliche'd saying i want it future proof but i would really like to be comfortable for the same amount of time my current system has lasted me. I appreciate everything you guys have imput.

Big.Wayne, did you see the guy who just made a monster pc for like 7k? He did triple sli 280's if i remember right, the 295's have just come out, if he had waited for a few weeks he would have had the option of these. I know i7 is basically beta and it will improve. With buying the rest of the components i am leaving my self not to get as outdated to upgrade as my current system is. Thanks again, can you review and give me your advice again :D, thanks.

I will be ordering once i spoke to overclockers and see if they can recommend as in extra cooling wise, can anone give me a their ideas?
 
i was thinking of a 3rd smaller hdd for OS but was thinking i would never use 2 tb in my life, well unless it would make the performance better? I am just worried on cooling, would i need extra cooling?
 
I decided on the 64 bit OS before i started dreaming up the build, but thanks for the advice :). I am defo considering a bigger monitor. I'm more concerned about cooling, anybody got any advice on that front?
 
I appreciate that freak, i don't need that much space, it's just i heard they are amazing hdd's so i thought i might aswell get the best, but what do i know :P.

What extra cooling did you add freak?
