It is time to replace my old computer system (AMD 955 Black w/ AMD5770 GPU) with a new build that will be used primarily for photoshop and some gaming, especially Starcraft2, World of Warcraft. I want two HD's for redundancy for my photo collection plus SSD for speed. Have done overclocking with my past AMD955 and will probably do so with the 4790k. If I need better GPU in future for gaming in future will consider SLI. Total price is about $1500, give or take a little.

HD- WD Black 1 TB x 2- $69.99 x 2 (for data redundancy)
Case- Fractal Design R4 Black Pearl

CPU cooler- considering water cooling unit not sure what is best, recommendations welcome.
