Would appreciate any input in regards to how the following parts would interact/coincide with one another, or if there are better choices available. Thanks in advance!

Case: Antec p183
PSU: Antec CP-850 or CP-1000
MB: Asus 96X58D
Ram: Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3 1600 TR3X6G1600C7D G (not sure which latency to get? )
HD: Intel x25-M SSD
CPU: i7 930
Video: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100281VX-2SR Radeon HD 5870
Cooler/HeatSink: Was looking at the Coolermaster H50 and the Noctua DH14 but am unsure about either.

Many are going with 128gb on the SSD, Corsair seems to be the popular choice. Read the Newegg reviews. If you go with the 80GB Intel, you'll wish you had bought 128gb.

I wouldn't mess with water cooling until you have the system up and running.
The Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is what I'm going with to start.

Not sure about the case, make sure it has enough room. Antec Twelve Hundred is what I'm picking. Again, read NewEgg reviews.
