I wouldn't get a pre-built watercooler, to many horror stories. One high end card is better than two mid/high end cards. 80+ Platinum PSU, nice clean power for you expensive parts, Define R4 is a great case, the fans are really good in it too, I added 3 more of the same fan, two more in and one more out, any reason you want 16GB of ram?

Unless ya planning in 3rd GFX card, Id drop to an 850 watter, Corsair HX series or Seasonic X series.

I don't see as the Swiftech brings anything to the table....yes it cools a bit more but its a lot noisier.

I'd take the Corsair 500R (9.25 rating) over the twice as expensive Storm Trooper (9.00 rating).

$140 MSRP is now discounted to $70 on neweegg

Though frankly, on most of my $3500 builds I have used the Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133192

Id also use three of these instead of the one 27"

I really don't see the PB278Q (5ms) as a gaming monitor being designed more for GFX professionals .... for gaming, ten 1 ms 144Hz monitors really kick it up

Should I drop the h220 and get a h100i? I want to oc to 4.4 or 4.6 ghz. Also my theme is red/black so are there any other mid or full tower cases that are like the storm trooper, are black, support red led and h220, and are just plain awesome?
