Ok well i like your options about my build. Ok first things first i am going with the the Coolit system because i like water cooling but hate setting it up and the problems with leaks sorry kind of think water and electricity is a bad mix lol and i go to lan party's so i like something more self contained. And about the monitor pleas tell me your likes and dislikes because it was either that or a samsung and i like the acer more for its looks and performance sorry. And about blue ray i will get one later on in life but right now it is not doable. Thank you all and keep it up. O and the money is coming from selling m current pc selling it for on hell of a price for me that is at $1350 and selling some other things.

Unless you're into heavy duty video/image editing, that Acer is overpriced and overkill. I recommend a 23.5" Asus just for 1080p resolution (1920x1080) and a good price. Definitely other monitors worth considering out there.
If you're not willing to go with custom water cooling, just air-cool. Its not like kits don't have their own problems

Thank you for your opinion and i am not getting a monitor just for resolution it is for picture quality and i like glossy monitors i actual thought about getting a dell but the $600 price tag was just to much.

I don't know where you live but the i7 920 is $230 at Microcenter. Either OCZ Freeze or IC7 instead of AS5.

I second everyone suggestion about the cooling.

for the CPU cooler just get a Xiggy dark knight or just the original HS-1283 .
That liquid cooler is a waste of money and the 920 can get to 4ghz on air just fine.
After that you'll be voltage limited.
