Why not figure out the normal PC parts like CPU/RAM/GPU/PSU/ etc then we'll discuss watercooling it all next month?

Well...
1. You don't need the deluxe... you can use a much cheaper motherboard I'm sure. What does the Deluxe have that isn't available on a cheaper board? But if you want it, you want it. Just know you can more than likely spend $100 less for the same performance and similar features. I also thought you were going red and black? That deluxe is not red or black...
2. Dominator Platinums are pricey... but if you want it, you want it.
3. 1200W PSU? For what? A quality 850W PSU would EASILY handle your system and that is with overclocking everything. I would suggest an EVGA Supernova G2 850W if you want overkill. Or if you insist on blowing your wad on massively overkill PSU, grab the EVGA 1.3KW as its still cheaper than that corsair ax1200i by $100+ with the same high quality. But getting a much more appropriate PSU will save you even more money on top of that...

Just because you have the budget doesn't mean you have to spend it... You are overbuying with no reason.
I don't know if they ship there. Email and ask or look and see.
You wouldn't be able to add a third video card with a lot of headroom, but more SSD/HDD, fans, and overclock the snot out of it, yes. If you want 3 980Ti's down the road grab a 1KW PSU (EVGA SUpernova G2).

Newegg is the place for your PC components. Performance-PCS and Frozencpu is your place for water cooling gear.
You just need to make sure they ship to you.

Being in the beutiful Northern Europe they also have places withing the EU to buy great watercooling parts. The probem with purchasing from USA stores is:
Shipping
Customs
Warranty
Cost
Please take the time to use GOOGLE etc to find places over there where you can buy stuff. I have seen many nice rigs built with parts from the EU. There is I'm sure some nice websites to help you.
Please don't tell me you are a 16 year old kid that dad said spend whatever you want, and he expected 1500 Euro max. Then you dissapear after we have flailed to help you decide on even just a motherboard.
Are you a person with $2500 to spend? Or a dreamer? We have seen a bazillion of those over the years.
Smart folks learn about WCing, and spend WEEKS hanging out and learning. Before even asking one. single. question. Those are the ones that do well. Our time is free, use it wisely...............

Okay. Thank You for putting the truth down.
I think you could start looking at our stickies to decide on the parts, doing a bit of science on wattage and flow rates to be sure.
Then decide on the basic components. Which really have no bearing on watercooling at all. Except the GPU, which MUST have a watercooling block available.
You have to decide on a case, we actually have a forum for cases and cooling. You visit them to learn?
How much do you know about fans for radiators?? We have 100's of posts in just the watercooling forum about just fans.
Same goes for radiators.
Pumps.....
Tubing....
Fittings.....
Sloww down, our input can only help so much. It's your stuff. You do it wrong......
We also are free help, but that depends on the user. We can get tired. We have jobs, lives, kids.
Getting tired with sooo much basic stuff that should of been decided already.

How are you going to power it up? What power supply? I still can't believe you are spending so much coin on the mobo and that ram (that offer you nothing for your uses over something else a lot cheaper, but... its your cash.
ALso, stickies are threads located in the top of each section of the forum...they say STICKY on them: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/71-Water-Cooling
