Well to start i belive the guys will need to know some more info, read this link http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ild-advice and post back.

What i think

its a ass load of money, and to start that water cooling wont do you any thing that a good HSF wont do and you will need a bigger PSU for the 2X GTX295s

I think you are [ or have ] paid far too much for components that wont give you any measurable extra performance .

Great PC... but WASTE of money :( SORRY 1) Core i7 975 not worth it when i7 920 can perform just as well when OC for 1/4 the price. The new Core i7 870 (Socket 1156) performs just as well at half the price. 2) Two GTX 295 are not worth it. I would get two GTX 275's or Crossfire ATI 4890. 3) I would recommend a second hard drive for storage to go with your SSD.

Check my thread under my enthusiast build. It should meet your needs, specially if you add a 2nd GPU.

an 850 watt psu was massive overkill but a 1 kw psu is probably ultra massive overkill , or even ultra extra massive overkill

But we are definitely moving in the right direction

I am guessing that the GTX 275 shown hear needs 40 amps on the 12+ rail

Minimum of a 550 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 40 Amps.)

The 750 only puts out 60 amps on one rail (falling short of the 80 amps needed in xfire)

The 1000 puts out 80 amps on 2 rails < guessing thats why it come up you need a 1000W ?
