I'm building a pc for gaming with a LCD monitor(24" most likely) running at around 1900x1200. My budget is around $1,500. I want to have good FPS(frames-per-second) for todays games and games over the next few years. I will probably buy a better video card or a 2nd one when prices drop. I will try to OC using liquid cooling but nothing extreme. I decided to go with an x58 board with Intel cpu. Can anyone recommend a specific board and cpu or anything else to go with them as well. Please give details as to why you think they are a good fit.

Basic build outline:
Mobo: x58 chipset
Memory : 6GB 3x2GB
CPU : Intel i7 , model that i'll get a some stable OC from
Video Card(s): 1 or 2 gtx 260 or equivalent or better, SLI or CF
Power Supply: a good one, to be determined
Liquid Cooler: Bigwater or Aquagate Max or something similar
Case : Cooler master cosmos or something like it
HD: 1 good SATA drive
DVD drive
Windows Vista 64 bit home edition

Thank you
