Asus Maximus IV Extreme Intel P67
8GB Corsair XSM3 1600mhz
Corsair 1000 Watts HX1000W Modular Gaming Power Supply – Quad SLI Ready
64 GB Crucial M4 Series SATA III Gaming MLC Solid State Disk

Questions:
I've read that the Thermaltake Frio and CoolerMaster V8 Gaming CPU Cooling Fan are decent CPU coolers but im fairly new to computers so im not sure if water cooling would serve better considering the fact that the CPU will be overclocked? 3 x 120mm (500-1,200 RPM) silent Case Cooling Fans will also be put inside the case, would this help keep temps down?
Will the fans already in the Coolermaster Haf-x plus the extra fans keep the system cool considering that both the CPU and the GPU's will be overcloked?
Can my 1000W PSU handle this set up? or will it be stressed to cope?
I may be able to get my hands on my bro's pc surround system, would a sound card be a good idea or is the onboard enough?
Im fairly new to the concept of building pcs and have only got interested recerntly so if I have left anything out or if you have any better ideas please advise.
Oh yeah, any ideas on what full HD 27" 2ms monitor I should get?
Cheers, thanks in advance! Sorry for the essay!
1000 watts is enough, you won't need to overclock that cpu. The V-8 is a good air cooler,water cooling is higher maintenance. have 3 case fans, that is enough. Onboard sound is fine for me, you can add it very easily later. If your monitor is too big your eyes work harder to do the same thing. 19inch is good for me. I sometimes play my games smaller as it's easier and faster. all the parts look good to me.
