Default I have found out what I want I just need some advise

Right im going to build myself an extreme system and i know what I want to make it from.
I have to admit I am not very good about the whole cooling stuff but I think I have pulled this off alright. Money is no exception to be honest as I have had a crap computer for so god damn long now and I have just got a new job and looking to spend any amount on a new machine.

This is what I have got;
Intel core 2 extreme
780i Nvidia Motherboard
Kingston DDRII SDRAM. I hope to get 4 2GB ram sticks.
Geforce 8800 Ultra. I hope to get 3 of these in the future but for now, only 1.
20x Dual layer DVD ROM Drive
Hitachi Deckster 500GB HDD
I have found a case online, its called "Enermax ECA5000 Uber Chakra Ultimate series" with a 1000W PSU in it and a couple of fans, there is another 2 slots in this case for 120MM fans that I will be filling in the future. I have also got my eye on the Nvidia water cooling system I have seen online.

Im sure all this stuff will fit together and kick some major butt, Let me know if you see anything you dont agree with or somthing that I have mised that I would need.

Thanks in advance people.

Try Western Digital or Seagate [although these days it's hard to judge with Seagate since they brought out Maxtor, who tend to be about as bad if not worse than Hitachi...]

If your motherboard can handle the SATA (which I believe it can eaisly) go for it. PATA = Parallel ATA (EIDE).
