Fixed For simplicity sake and size.

Intel i7-970 3.2ghz

CyberPower Xtreme Hydro Liquid Cooling Kit

2TB SATA-III 7200RPM HDD

12GB DDR3/1600MHz Triple Channel Memory (Kingston HyperX)

GigaByte G1.Sniper Intel X58

800 Watt XtremeGear Gaming Power Supply

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB EVGA Superclocked Edition

ASUS VW246H 24"

I'd say it all checks out, Although I would go with a powersupply other than "XtremeGear", Corsair has superior build quality and reliability, I've been on the Same Corsair TX750W from 2 years ago, and put it in my current build and bought a 650w corsair to put in the older build I took it out of. And I love their case stickers... Go with one of their High End Modular Units, You wont be disappointed.
