you're buying an AGP video card for a PCI-E motherboard. It won't work.

I would also recommend you go for a different power supply. Xion's are not the best PSU and if you're going to spend that money, go for a quality PSU. If you really want modular, look at the Sintek 500/600w SLI.

If you're not going to be going SLI in the future, don't bother buying an SLI motherboard.

That water cooling is way too expensive and doesn't best the better high end air cooling solutions.
