Looks good. That's a solid build. I've got a couple of suggestions though:

Better PSU for the price:

Better GPU for the price:

Better RAM for about $5 more:

Similar cooler for a bit cheaper...about the same performance:

Also, just so you know, that type of cooler isn't really true "water cooling" in terms of performance. It's about as effective as a decent air cooler.

wireless card - get something with b/g/n.

Mobo - Why do you choose 890GX chipset? Do you need onboard VGA? You won't be crossfire as you running GTX 460

Video card - keep gtx 460 1GB, the one you choosen with core speed 650MHz?? Isn't 675 is standard??

PSU - I don't think running single video card need 750W.
550W is more than enough
