ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This is my first build - will be getting help from some friends in the actual assembly. I took most of the components from the Tom’s System Builder Marathon Enthusiast Build. My question is – does this look like a viable build, and am I missing anything crucial? I hope/expect this is kind of overkill for what I will be using it for, but I want a pretty advanced and upgradeable system.

why do you need 8 giga of ram
your mobo link is the psu link, I'd recommend to see if yo u can find a gb or asus mb with the same chipset and costs the same or less
not sure about the seagate hds thought, take a look on these hd: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136351
10$ less also, why do you need 2 ssd hds?

seagates .11's are rubbish

you dont need 1000 watt psu .750 would be plenty

the watercooling kit is ok but not worth it IMO since ir will be fine

two 5770's is much the same as a single 5870 [ 2 x 800 stream processors vs 1600 stream processors so thats just a bad way of using up available pci-e slots .
Alternatively you could buy a cheaper mb to pair with the 5870 and save some money

8 gig of ram wont increase performance for gaming , and might even slow you down . Read the memory scaling articles on this site . 4 gig max unless you are running 64 bit programs like CS4 or a bunch of VM's.
1333 MHz low latency is as fast as 1600 MHz with slacker timings
