1. Are you positive you want DDR3 capable motherboard?

2. Intel has the best CPU chips at this time.

3. The difference is that the FX is more of a premium chip, generally with higher L2 cache,...I think.

4. Populars are:
Memory - Crucial, Mushkin, G.Skill, Corsair
VGA - EVGA, BFG, XFX
Hard disk - Western Digital, Seagate
CPU - Intel

I don't agree with the VGA ones, but that's what sells.

And yes, you'd need a PSU. Silverstone ones are great.

Give us a better Idea as to your budget, and preferences, and we can give you a much more specific answer, even a list of parts.
If we know where you live we can even find the best prices for the parts.

Overclocking - Increasing the CPU speed, Increasing Component Voltage settings, Increasing Memory speed through the BIOS in order to increase System performance overall(ETC).

Some Motherboards are better for overclocking Adjustment than others.

Watercooling can be complicated...but realy allows for high overclocks and optimium performance. It cost a lot more than AIR-Cooling....

I sugest you check out the "Case Gallery" here @ TPU, and look at some Watercooled systems to make sure thats what you want to do.

I would wait next month (or Jan of next year) to build a new rig. Nvidia is coming up with its new 780i chip set that can support the triple sli. Also they may have new high performance dx10.1 cards in the making.
