Is this a good build for $1.9k??

Would it be better if I waited for the Bulldozer to come out, or just went ahead and bought the AMD 6 Core?

Cooling and Cases

I've took some time to think about fans, and cooling, like "Do I need a RAM cooling unit, or a HDD cooling unit?" I've looked around and found these. But honestly, do I need it, or will the CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler and the case, the COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1 Black Steel/ Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case be fine?
Considering all the fans that the case has, I think I might be fine. I just want to make sure though.

Cooler Masters fans
Cooling System
140mm Fans: 1 x 140mm rear fan
200mm Fans: 1 x 200mm top fan
1 x 200mm side fan
230mm Fans: 1 x 230mm front red LED on/ off fan
Side Air duct: Yes

And which of these 3 cases would be the best?

Ok, so here is the big question. Intel or AMD?

I love AMD processors cause they are cheap and fast. But a budy of mine says Intel is the way to go, and has about 16 years behind it. Intel has good processors but are expensive. I'm just trying to make a good choice.

Unfortunately this question cant be answered by anyone but yourself... Both companies exist for a reason and if one was better than the other, then of course the other would not exist.

Maybe next year you can build one that is twice as fast for the same money or build the same thing for about $1000. Build it for what you need it for and nothing more. Anything more is a waste of money.
