Need help building a super rig!

Hey I'm New Here.
I want to build a super rig.
I've built several rigs in the past but want to make a super fast rig now, with the best specs.

Please suggest extreme components for my super rig!

Prices doesn't matter here, but i want to keep it under £10,000/$16,464.

Here's My Buying List So Far:

Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition (i7-975)
EVGA E760
12 Gigs Of DDR3 Ram (Can someone please provide a good link?)

Had a Alienware, bios was locked, crappy ram installed - didn't like it.

I'd choose Cyberpowerpc if i had that much dough and just max the crap out of it..
I think you state if you want to air cool or water cool.

if you really wan't to spend $16k on a pc i think you are better off getting like a falcon NW. it's going to be really hard to spend that kind of dough building your own...

the hardware is obvious but that will cost you at most 4000, the real question is how to spend the other 12

my suggestion would be to build a sick raid array out of intel ssd's maybe like 30-40 of them in raid 0

get a sick phase change cooling set up from someone... or just buy as much LN2 as you can and try to run LN2 24/7... i think you might need to pay off some politicians to buy this much LN2 anyways lol

get someone to import you a super exotic case from japan or somewhere then fly some PRO in from halfway across the world to mod it for you

You can unlock bios by taking out the power cord & battery, or clean CMOS. But about your request, for the motheboard, get

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188048 or the 4way sli version. and of course 3-4 5870 is going to be sick..

Alienware is garbage owned by dell.if you build systems,you can build a way better machine and have 100% more satisfaction.You got your cpu picked out,just throw in a badass mobo,6-12 gigs ram,2 or 3 gpus and solid state drives and your set,and dont forget about a bad ass psu,just look at my sig-rig,it blows away alienware.

Hold off until the i9.

Or buy a cray.
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115202 (get the 975 if you really want to but not needed, especially if you are going to overclock)
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131352
Graphics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102863 (get two if you really want to, not needed though)
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145255
Power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817194039
Storage: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820139032 (get as many as you want room for and use a Raid0 setup)

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811163067 (you can fit a 360mm and a 240mm ran underneath and a 360 or a 240 up top, so 3 internal rads total.)

For the water loops.
Pump: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swiftechmcp355.html (get two of them, one for each loop)
Radiator: This will depend on how quiet you want it, if you want a quieter machine get these... http://www.petrastechshop.com/xsrxtr12ra.html (you can fit one underneath and one up top with minimal modding.)
CPU block: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swapxtcpuwa.html
GPU block: http://www.dangerden.com/store/dd-5970-water-block.html
Resivoir: This is more of an personal choice, but this one will increase the performance of the pump and looks nice... http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/xsacreforlad.html
Fittings: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bimabl7cofif1.html (I think the black ones will look nicer in your case than the silver ones, get as many as you need, probably around 12 I think)
Tubing: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ty1idx3odlat.html (You will probably need about 20 feet or so, but I always over buy just in case I mess it up)

I didnt include a DVD drive in there because I never really use one and they are cheap enough that it doesnt really matter what you get.

You may also want a good fan controller or two.
Controller: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/sckamaace5ba.html

Depending on what kind of performance you want out of your fans these should work well.
Fans: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/pa12hisp.html (get as many as you need)

I hope this helps and that I didnt forget anything.
