i'd ditch the liquid cooling for eternity, personally. i'd replace it with a 750 watt antec or similar power supply.
you'll probably have that power supply for near a lifetime and it'll do you quite well unless you start daisy chaining GPU's.
the liquid cooling on the other hand is way expensive and nearly useless.
i like that nzxt case, personally because of the e-sata port. for an extra couple dollars over a budget case, it's a good purchase that can be utilized for years to come.
a little tip with AMD processors... regardless what line you're looking at, always try to get the black box version. they're always more stable, better performers and more capable of over clocking.
That is the unlocked one of the fx series of chips. I dont plan to over clock it much unless I get some sort of after market cooler, still, Probably to like 3.6 or 3.8 if I could manage that and make it stable. Tiger direct/comp usa (local) didnt really have much for amd 6 cores (idk if many exist at all anyway).
So my plan is
the amd processor (not the apu)
the asus mobo
whatever dvd burner they have in stock at the store under $30 (or I could steal the one out of this computer for a while)
the nxzt case (I like the looks more and I dont need a high air flow case) (or whatever case I choose that they have in stock at the store. I dont think that one is available in my area)
Whatever ram they have in stock at the store (nothing low end though)
someone on rctech suggested this psu

And I have no idea which gpu.
Here are the options so far

The top one being the one the person on rc tech linked.
This thread is moving a LOT faster on rctech so here is a link to the thread over there. I kind of act a bit differently over there than I do here because there are people that just go in to mess with the thread and stuff. Oh, the link is to page 2 and there is some other stuff on page 1.

Thanks for the input guys! I may know how to build the computer, but I am still a noob to choosing components that I want and stuff.
Edit: dun, I thought I mentioned that I decided to just go with the stock cpu cooler or a possible after market one. But not the liquid cooling yet. Maybe down the line.
