There are quite a few good ones, it has been beaten to death in the Video Card forums. In my system I would rather have a R9 290X, but I will admit that the 780 ti is generally faster. I will concede to someone that can better answer that question. I don't want to steer you wrong.

Cool build.
For the PSU: Corsair AX(or RM) 750
For the motherboard, you could choose the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, it's a bit the same.
You don't need a water-cooling. You can choose Noctua NF-A14 for fans.

As far as water cooling the GPU, most of the GPU's I've seen watercooled can't be clocked much past the original clock speeds because the factory VRM circuitry can't push the needed power. All you end up with is a GPU that runs a lot cooler, paying $100 more, and the risk of a fried system if you spring a leak.

I have heard that a 15% overclock is achievable on that bad boy, but if this is your first build, you may want to double and triple check before you start it up with the water in the case or get some help. You don't want to let the smoke out of the chips.

In this case stay with this gpu. Nvidia's models are cool, you don't need water-cooling.
(If you want a better CPU-Cooler, take a Noctua nf-d14 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd14) or a Thermalright Silver Arrow (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermalright-cpu-cooler-silverarrow))

You can use the water, just be very careful. If the fittings leak you could kill the whole computer.

Cost wise. The card is $100 more than a standard card and you still have to buy the pump, plumbing, coolant, coolant reserve, and any monitoring equipment. All this for what might be a 15% gain. That's 40% added to the price of a regular 780 ti for an extra 15% performance, and the added chance of catastrophic failure.

Just sayin'
