The cooling kit is going to be stressed pretty darn hard to keep both the CPU and GPU cool at the same time if you plan on OC'ing the system, at stock settings it may do OK.
About the Corsair memory, Corsair memory Rocks and should do well in just about any system..............;)

TT pumps are fairly weak and not all that reliable from the last that I heard. About the best "KIT" out there right now is from Swiftech, you'll have to add a GPU block, but you have to do the same for just about any kit.

I agree, if you are going to get a kit, buy from Swiftech. Also, since you're planning on cooling both the CPU and GPU, I would suggest getting at least a double rad (one that fits 2x 120mm fans). They offer the H20-220 Apex Ultra+ (http://www.swiftech.com/products/H20-220-APEX-plus.asp) that has a water block for both the cpu and gpu. Or you could get the non + version (http://www.swiftech.com/products/H20-220-APEX.asp) and buy a gpu waterblock that cools the core and the memory chips. Here is one from Danger Den (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5543/ex-blc-349/Danger_Den_8800GTX_Black_Polycarbonate_Video_Card_ Liquid_Cooling_Block_DD-8800GTX-PC.html) but it is out of stock on this site, but I'll just link you too it so you can see it and the product info.

If you are planning on using a Thermaltake Big Water 745 then get Thermaltake's TMG ND4 (http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/TMG/CL-W0153/cl-w0153.asp) as its performance is surprisingly decently.

This is considered old? I actually didn't look at the date until you mentioned it though. I just read the thread and it didn't sound like herr_kingkong came to a final decision on what to buy. So I thought I would add to what Bio-Hazard said and suggest some specific products.

Less than one month isn't what I would really concider really old, but when you start digging up stuff that's 2 months old and more than likely resolved, that's where grave digging starts coming into play. But that's just my opinion and I'm in no way connected with the management. ;)
