Questions:
Will all my components be able to fit in my case nicely?
Will my processor, video card, and motherboard work well with one another?
To me it seems AMD puts out more power for less money. I picked the best processor they have to offer, and the video I chose can apparently be unlocked into a Radeon 6970 which is the best they have to offer. Will I get anything more powerful for about the same amount of money?
I have no idea how to set-up a BIOS or Operating System, is this difficult? I am worried about my computer not being as reliable as a brand name.
With the components I have will my case fans keep these at a cool temperature? I don't know how comfortable I feel using liquid cooling. I will add a side fan to my case as well to help with cooling.
Any opinions you guys have about the equipment I chose? If you know of better please list it and let me know why. Also anyone I would could maybe talk with on instant chat such as Facebook or AIM would be nice. I am really serious about doing this, I have the money in hand, but I just need advice and some knowledge.
Additional Equipment:
Fan Controller: AeroCool F6XT Controller, Panel (Do I even need this)

Money really isn't a issue, so if there is anything you would recommend for a valid reason let me know. I don't want a overkill of a computer though, even though I am probably already building one .
