What I Need:

Double check the compatibility of all parts. Which of the items marked possibly should i use?

Am I missing anything or are there any clear bottlenecks to the system?

Major water cooling part suggestions/installation tips!

Suggestions for monitors.
If possible i would like composite/component inputs but the quality of the monitor is far more important.
