I LOVE MY CASE! You've picked out the same one nice! That LCD is a MONSTER! You should buy an SSD rather than the one you picked. Get the all around power your system is capable of.

you should always check to see if there are some combos to save you some money, even if its a little.

i think that even if you're planning to sli two 285s in the future, the 1kw psu might be overkill.
if you want to be safe, a corsair 850w will work.

And skip the Arctic Silver 5, they haven't updated the formula in years. Other companies have been making better stuff for less money. Get this instead.

Your going to water cool later? What are you going to use for a heatsink now? The stock heatsink has Thermal Compound pre-applied so you don't need to buy any if your going that route. If your buying an aftermarket cooler what are you looking at?

Looks good if you go with what muffin and slay suggested. The 850HX would be a good choice for a PSU with that budget.

Similar spec'ed, however, you don't know for sure where they cheaped out.

 

[Nubbleet]

With pre-builts, it may seem cheaper, but they usually use no-name crap parts for RAM/HDD/Mobo.
