What bank is providing this upgrade?

So what do you need help on? These parts aren't even out yet.

And don't do water cooling, it's just a pain to maintain. Go with the Noctua NH-D14. It will beat a lot of multi-hundred dollar water cooling rigs.

Go with a SSD for the boot drive and HDD for storage.

Your PSU will depend on how much power the next gen Nvidia cards will draw.

I can vouch 100% on that case. I own it and I know how amazing it is. It has excellent airflow and great cable management. The build quality is top-notch as well.

What do you mean there will new RAM coming out? The next gen CPUs will support DDR3 RAM as well. And you don't need to spend $150 on it. Just a simple $40 kit will be good enough for gaming.
