1.) Get a cheaper motherboard
2.) Get a 7950 or 7870 XT if going for Singe Monitor
3.) HX750 - great for CF/SLI. 500w - single gpu
4.) No need for Sound Card.
5.) G. Skill Ares 2x4gb 8gb
6.) Air cooling
7.) Whichever version of windows is cheaper.

4.) Motherboard already has on board sound card
5.) Dunno. Ram is ram for me. I really don't care about the aesthetics haha.
6.) Air Cooling is easier and if you are not a super OCer then really no need for water cooling.

I have to agree with Cutebeans on air cooling. Liquid isn't really necessary, It's also a pain and gets quite expensive. Just buy something cheap like an Evo 212, or if you really want liquid you can go for an h100i for the processor which is pretty easy to install. If you go past a processor for liquid cooling It's gets to be a pain.

Thank you guys , so I ended up getting a hx650 for PSU, H100 for liquid cooling, and patriot viper 3 venom red rams 8gb ddr3, I didn't buy the sound card as you mentioned the on board, I think I need cd/dvd drive and a power surge next ^^
