Hey guys,
Looking to build a computer to use for my home-based video recording and editing company, as well as some recreational WoW/SC/Diablo/etc. in my free time.

I'd like dual-monitor capability, and maybe eventually adding a third; will this GPU be efficient, or should I add another/different one?
I want to go with the water cooling option, just for the sake of noise. Any better options in this department?
Also, is this PSU too much? I wasn't sure how much power I needed, but this one had pretty good reviews on it.
I'm in the US and don't really want to spend much more than ~$1300, so if there are any ways I can save money on different parts (for instance, I'll be using an external sound card, so I don't necessarily need a great embedded one) that's pretty much what I'm looking for. I guess my biggest issue is going to be graphics and processing speed.
Many thanks, BAPC :)
