Default Help me build a OC'ing / gaming computer! :)

I am looking for suggestions on what to get for my next comp. It will be used for gaming / multimedia and I will be overclocking it.

What I don't need:

-Peripherals (including monitor)
-Operating System (I will use XP Home)
-Hard drives (I will use the new VelociRaptor as my primary drive and a Seagate 7200.10 for my secondary drive)
-GPU's (I will use two Evga 8800GTS G92's in SLI)

What I do need:

-RAM
-CPU (Core Two Duo / Quad / Extreme)
-Case (I think I would like to try an acrylic case)
-PSU
-Cooling (I think liquid cooling for at least the CPU and northbridge would be a good option if the budget favors it).
-Optical and floppy drive (I dont need a Blue-Ray writer / reader)
-Anything else that I may be forgetting?

Requirements:

The motherboard must have at least two PCI-e x16 2.0 slots so I can run my cards in SLI.

Budget: Approximately $1,500 I prefer to buy from NewEgg because they have good shipping charges to Hawaii.
