I'm looking to build a two dedicated Gaming computer that can play even Crysis (Warhead) both at Max and at Playable-60 fps or more.

I am looking at an i7 975 CPU

EVGA 3xGTX 285 2gb SSC's

EVGA 1x9800GT for Physx

For both.

Now here is the problem

I'm looking to liquid cool it all, one of them is going to be a LAN party computer, the other a Home only.

I don't know what MoBo to use, what Ram is best, What PSU will be best, and what case would be best. I narrowed it down, but I still need help.

The cases I'm torn between the SILVERSTONE RAVEN RV02-BW or the SILVERSTON RAVEN RV01-BW

For MoBo its down to Four.
EVGA LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI LE Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer LGA 1366 Intel X58 CEB Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA LGA 1366 Intel X58 Extended ATX SLI Classified Intel Motherboard

For RAM, what Would give the best Speed and Cas combo.

For PSU I need one that is not going to burn out, will have super high Wattage, Modular, and will not burn out the computer parts.

Lastly 4xSLC SSD or 4xVelocity Raptor or 4x1tb-2tb drives, and what manufacture?
Also For the SSD's I will do RAID 0, 0+1, or 5, Which do you recommend?
For the HDD's I will only do 0+1, or 5 for fear of dead drive data loss.

Thanks all.
 
you aren't going to be able to water cool very much in those raven cases, you're already dropping a decent amount of cash, so you might as well do it right at get a mountain mods case, just so you know, waterblocks for those cards is going to be around $450...as for a board, i would get the classified, then a block from bitspower would be $150, plus $75 for the mosfet block, for a psu, you should probably go for an enermax 1250, those run around $350, as for ram, if you want the best, a-data makes a set that runs at 2133mhz, but costs $500 or so for 6gb's, then slc ssd's would be the best speed, at this point its just money right?

Ok, money is not the issue, and I'm going to mod the Raven case either one I use. Plus the water block and what not is not an issue. All in all I just need help getting the best parts as can be. Also I like the way the raven cases look, so that is a must, so which one to use.
Also the Classified MoBo now comes with a water block version, and Liquid cooling parts I can get for cheep from Koolance, They never gave me problems in the past. So what RAM chips can I buy that will have best Cas and speed?
 
Lol if your going to spend that much wait until new new gen graphic cards come out and get an i9 when that comes out ;)

Watercooling a raven for gpu's and everything is going to be hard as you'll want at least a quad rad..
 
Rad

I can get an external pump, radiator, and reservoir set up that can have lines fed into the case. Its ease to build.
