GTX 295 is best on the market, but it cost over $500.
ATI 5870 is cost $380 - 400, which is the best single GPU video card. However, you may find it difficult to get one in US, as they are out of stock at most of the online retailer.
ATI 5870 review

If you have spare money, you would consider a SSD drive for OS + Programme. But they are quite expensive.

While for other components, may be a sound card, or blu-ray drive or wireless adaptor if you home running wireless network.

You don't need a water cooling system unless you plan on doing serious overclocking which you don't need to do ;)
