What type of case are you looking at for this?

If it was me, I would look at a case that will allow you to go to liquid cooling in the future. I say is as I play alot of FPS some of which can be demanding on CPU's and GPU's, that is if you are going to over OverClock it to 4.5+ plotting

Now to you question, wish I had a bit of money so I could add a couple of those toys to my machine banghead

Cooler Master??? Have to say good choice (IMO) as they have lots of fan mount placements and are set up for liquid cooling. 1000w PSU should handle most everything there even if you overclocking the CPU and/or the GPU's.

(can I borrow some money until the 2nd Tuesday of next week????)

No doubt if i do then i'll order liquid cooling at a slightly later point and yes the tower is liquid compatible as are pretty much all of ava directs towers

Pointless to get water cooling for Sandy Bridge, they will go far on air. 4.5ghz is VERY easily attainable with a TINY bump in voltage. Only going up to 3.8 would be a massive waste. I run my 2500k at 4.6 daily, and never see temps above 60c (well i am water-cooled, but no difference)
