I'm actually going to college next year so i'm getting a computer instead of a car (I'd rather bike than drive), and its not like i'll be going cross country or anything. I'm trying to get top of the line stuff right now, well that is without blowing too much money.

Are these parts good enough for that title?
OK time to pick this baby apart... but I'll be nice

If you're gonna get those components I'd first change the PSU. Not to knock Enermax but I'd get a PC Power & Cooling SLI certified PSU... or at least the OCZ Powerstream 600w SLI.

Mag monitor? Why not Viewsonic, Samsung, Sony, or NEC? I hope you mean LCD.

Custom Cooling? Could you be more specific?

1 Raptor or 2? 74Gb or 36Gb? Monarch has free shipping btw.

A8N? I'm big on DFI but if you're new to overclocking then stick with what you're getting. It'll be fine with TCCD.

Kadalf case looks awesome. Everything else is fine. Good luck and don't forget to ask us if you have any questions

btw, I'm gonna stop posting for a while now that I have 3666 posts

Already bought an Enermax psu >_<, well i think thats good too, shouldnt be too much different from your suggestions.

Yes, i have to use a 19" mag monitor for now, no more money for an LCD screen lol.

Just 1 raptor @ 74 gigs

I trust Asus more so i'm going with the cheaper A8N Sli Deluxe, plus the box is cool looking (not that it makes a difference in my choice).

Water cooling system:
Eheim 1250 pump 1/2"
Clearflex 60 - 8 feet of tubing 1/2"
Pro 120 radiator w/fan shroud combo @ Dtek
Extra Shroud for the other side @ Dtek
2 120mm fans for the shrouds @ Dtek
Dtek bay reservoir 5.25"
Nylon hose clamps
arctic silver5
white water water block
MCT-40 non-conductive solution (to replace water)
PCI relay kit

If it's not too late, don't get the FX-57. Waty too much money! Overclock an SD 4000+ or even an FX 55 if you want, but $1000 for a processor is insane.

You would also get better profomance from two 36gb raptors in raid-0 than a single drive.
