Alrite guys, blurbed a while back about building a new system and got some good feedback;

My budget's flexible cause I think building it well once and not having to go near it again for ages is the best way. Anyway, so far i'm gonna go for;

I also have an X-fi Fatal1ty Pro Sound card.
So really all i'm stuck on is the board and graphics. Is getting a board with an nvidia chipset and then an nvidia GPU the best or is the Foxconn Blackops really good and are ATI cards the dogs danglys now?
If you guys could give me some stats or feature recommendations on these two parts it'd be great.
Oh, and lookng at xilence icebox HDD heatsinks for cooling and the Corsair Memory DOMINATOR AIRFLOW FAN, not too sure about water cooling, makes me a bit nervous at the thought of liquid inside the comp. Have a IFX-14 for the CPU so if there's anything you guys would recommend fire away.
And, when i get it built i'll post some pics to show you all your handy work.
Cheers guys for humouring my repetitive questions!
p.s
mobo i like was the asus striker II extreme 790i.
is it worth the £240 price?
