system looks solid for right now. I'd just save the cash or if you're wanting to blow money I'd get 2gb more of ram since you're on x64

+1 Prolimatech Megahalems very excellent HSF
+1 cooler master case but if your planning on a 5800 series GPU it may not fit.

+1 Megahalems, looks massive
+1 water cooling kit, nice sale
+10 VGA Cooler should be quiet

my eyes r going 8ball size seeing these water cooling kits prices
wait these kits have both cpu and gpu coolers,, so that will solve two problems, and will keep u busy overclocking
