Well ya got 4 fans to start with and big ones if I remember right ( 200 's or 230 's ?). I dont own one but I think ya can get at least a 240 rad on top if your going with a water loop . Or a rea mounted h80 perhaps . I agree with ko888 in that a loop for the gpu would be good . Diminnishing returns sinking money in to water cooling the cpu . On the other hand the heatsink cpu coolers ala Noctua and what not are the size of a small car, But what ever you do , at least ya got a big airy case to start with . Best of luck

custom watercooling as opposed to a closed loop cooler like an h80 , h100 etc. Unless your doing alot of oc'ing a heatsink type cpu cooler like a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO will be fine . You can get huge gains in temp control by using a waterblock on the gpu . Theres a sticky somewhere on the watercooling subject . I know just enough to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6qpkigby5wembarrass myself . also look at this if ya want a quick tutorial
