After building many PCs, I like your choice of Asus motherboard. For the PSU I would go for a Tagan. Amazingly quiet and solid PSU in my experience of using them. I would also go for a Lian-li case as recommended above. I currently have an Antec MATX case, but it only has one 3.5" drive bay, the reason I got it was that its quite compact. Not in the same league as the Lian-Lis I have owned though.

As for cooling I have had computers run quieter on air than on water (AMD 2500+M Barton overclocked to 2.4Ghz with Zalman heatsinks on it and the GPU for those of you that care) so I wouldnt bother with the hassle of watercooling. A decent heatsink fan will do the job nicely.
