Yup. Could easily have fit a GTX 285 in there, along with a good case and great monitor. Unless the $1500 is in AUD or CAD or something.
Also, water cooling is a waste unless you're spending like $2500 on a top-of-the-line system.

I'm going to be OCing it soon, so I think water cooling was a good choice and didn't really have enough money for the GTX 285

With modern CPU fans, your motherboard along with the chip itself is going to limit you much more than heat would. Water cooling = waste of money.

I don't belive a watercooling system is nessesry at all.
You can overclock it to around 4.0gHz with air stable so you shouldn't
get watercooling.
Watercooling = problems, not quite like people think, expensive, mainly just somthing that sounds good
So get dual ATI 4870 instead or dual GTX260.
OR ATI 4870X2
The GTX 285 isn't price worth.
I would totaly get 6gb instead also.
2GBx3, 1333mhz or 1600mhz.
Regards humper

I think it's a bit too late for that Humper, seems like he's already built the system.
