This is what is in my shopping cart at newegg.ca

For the case:Cooler Maser HAF: 189.99$
Solid State: Corsair Force CSSD 60GB: 129.99$
Reg Hard Drive: Samsung F3: 74.99$
Motherboard+ ram combo: Corsair vengence 16GB dual channel DDR3
and MSI P67A: 392.98$
Video Card: Evga GTX580 (I know its not better for my rig, but I want the best one I can buy, thinking of the future and such.): 509$.
Processor: Intel I5 2500K: 228.99$
Cooling: Corsaid Liquid cooling: (I went with this because I hate noise and my current pc has liquid cooling and I have had zero problems). 109.99$
Power Supply: 650W Antec: 99.99$
OS: Windows 7 64bit professional: 154.99$
Total cost after tax+ shipping=2,313.50$

It splits my order into two for some reason, one is international shipping and one is domestic.... Must be because they don't have some parts in Canada?

What do you think? I know I overspent on some areas and its just my personal 'schtik' but my budges was 3,500$ when I first decided to get a new pc.. so saving 1,200$ is a huge deal for me. Thanks for your replies!

PS: I am a little worried ordering all this online... I wonder how huge the difference would be if I were to try local... I'll price it out local sometime tonight or tomorrow.
 
It would help if you answered the stickied "ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FIRST!" so that we can help you better.

And what water cooling setup do you have now in your current PC? And why Windows 7 Pro? Which Antec 650W? Which Corsair Vengeance RAM set?
 
Sorry about that I might have jumped the gun :D
The ram: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

What OS do you think I should use for an MMO and FPS gaming rig? I would like to run all of my games at max settings at 1920X1080 or above if possible. My current pc is an alienware area 51 ALX X58. I think their water cooling system is prorpietary? Liquid cooling isn't a MUST I just don't want any noise.
