New overclocking project build!

Hey all,

Well I'm back and need some recommendations again. My new build will be simply for overclocking / general usage. (fun project). I'm taking this pc to work to use for my everyday work. It's my first watercooled build 🙂

For the watercooling,

CPU Waterblock - DD TDX
Danger Den DD12V-D5 Pump
Double Heater Core with Fittings (or maybe a black ice? )
Danger Den Double Heatercore Shroud
T-line

System specs (here is where i mostly need your advice )

Cpu- Opty 148
MB- EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra
Memory- What should I get? I really dont need more than a gig for work use. I also would like to avoid using mem divider. Budget for mem $150.00
HD- already have one
PSU - recommend me one 🙂 preferably under $100
GPU- dont need one.
Case- recommend me one with a side window that will fit all my parts, including watercooling parts. Preferably under $120.00

Again this is mainly for fun, but will be my main rig at work. Hopefully I can get this baby past the 3ghz range.

Thanks in advance.

 
Case: Cooler Master Centurion 530 w/ side window. or a centurion 5
Memory: G.Skill Extreme series 512X2 DDR 600Linky $200
Mobo: Change to a DFI Ultra-D, you'll need the tweak settings.
Power supply: Antec NeoHE 500w
 
hrmm, I'm wondering if I should go with a 1gb of Mushkin Redline Xp4000 for the memory. I'll definitely switch the board to the Ultra-D. For the powersupply, I would like to try something other than Antec (just to try something different), maybe fortron or seasonic? I'm really not digging that case too much.
