thx for quick reply

Monitor
Operating System

we can use that towards something else...

Get 32GB ram, create a ram disk, profit.
Also two 670 gtx msi but with two power edition ones, and the xfx 850 xxx edition, which is modular.
My suggestion :

what kinda overclock i should expect with this setup

Really depends on the CPU

With a good water cooling setup I think 5ghz should be pretty doable, any higher it will depend on your specific CPU
With water cooling your limit is not temperature, but the amount of volts it takes your cpu to reach certain clocks

No point in getting so much hdds lol, and two stock reference 670 gtx, when you can have 2000$ to spend get two good 670 GTX like the msi pe, the samsung 840 has tlc nand which is inferior to other ssds with mlc nand, with that money of the hdds i'd get another ssd or a 512GB one.
Like something like this : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ByBG

Worth to mention it's already overkill.
The asrock z77 oc formula is excellent for extreme overclocking see here for some reviews :

I thought you were doing a custom water cooling loop, not going with a closed loop water cooler.
If you want a closed loop water cooler i'd get this : http://www.swiftech.com/h220.aspx
Otherwise just get an air cooler like the noctua nh-d14 : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd14

Here's the parts : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BAdG

Also make sure that you need two 670 gtx, i didn't see what's your resolution, but it's 1080p, two 670 gtx are overkill.
Don't get the samsung 840 non pro, it has tlc nand, which isn't as reliable or fast under heavy load as mlc nand.
If you want the seagate hdd 2TB get it from here : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=66010&vpn=ST2000DM001&...
Get the ram here : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=75079&vpn=994069&manuf...
