I think CloD will just about run on that...

Only kidding. Looks good. Are you allowing for a second GPU? The 1200w PSU seems like overkill otherwise, I'd have thought.

My only comment is - more RAM! I've got a lower-spec system on order (i7 950 3.06Ghz s1366 [overclocked], ASUS Sabretooth X58 MoBo, 2GB XFX HD6970 GPU, 12GB [3x4] 1600 RAM, Corsair 1000W PSU [allowing for 2nd GPU], 128GB SSD, 1TB SATA2 HD, Antec 300 case), and I found that it made more sense to get as much RAM as you are likely to want for some time - you may well have to replace the lot, rather than adding more. I'd check on this. Though 8GB sounds a lot, it may not be in a year or two, and it is relatively cheap compared to some other components.

I didn't have the confidence (or money) to go with a watercooled system. I don't trust water near electronics...
