I don't think you need a 1200W power supply, Unless your planning on adding another gtx 580 and over clocking like crazy with your water cooler.

Looks good. Is it for gaming? If so you dont really need to overclock. Which means you could drop the liquid cooling to the Fenrir or even the Tripple Copper and also change the RAM to Samsung 1333MHz.

PSU is overkill unless you want to SLI in the future, you could drop to a 650W Corsair no problem. Also if you are using just one monitor you can drop the GTX 580 to the 1.5GB version. Last but not least you could change your 2nd HDD to a Caviar Green which would conserve energy and be a bit quieter if it's just going to be used for storage.

Hope this helps.

I do plan on adding to it later. thats why i got that power unit just so i was safe and dont have to really worry and just cos i can lol.
I plan on gaming, video editing, making/mixing music. pretty much everything ill do will be with it.
no real budget.
