hello :)

good choice of components..

Id say for Mobo get the Rampage III Extreme and change the Psu to the corsair Ax 850 or Hx 1000 or Ax1200

1x 580 is enough for 1920x1200 but if you are looking at the bigger monitor(dell 27 or 30) then consider adding a second card for the 2560x1xxx resolution of those screens.

For water cooling i would say get the new Swiftech MCR320-DRIVE REV2 Triple 120mm Radiator w/ Integrated Pump along with a Cpu waterblock , some pipe and compression fittings of your choice.

Id highly recommend the Swiftech Apogee XT cpu water block.

The best tubing right now in terms of no plasticizer leech and bend radius along with a wide choice of colors is from Primochill. The Primochill LRT Tubes with 3/8th inch ID ( internal Diameter) and 5/8th inch OD ( Outer Diameter) are the ones to get. :)

As for fittings , those will depend on the case as well as the water cooling parts you choose.

Expect to spend close to 25k for a very good water cooling system including shipping and duty :)

Here are a few links.

1)Swiftech MCR320-DRIVE REV2 Triple 120mm Radiator w/ Integrated Pump ( The Mcp35x pump on this kit the best out there !! )

Swiftech MCR320-DRIVE REV2 Triple 120mm Radiator w/ Integrated Pump! Products Model: MCR320-DRIVE-R2 [MCR320-DRIVE-R2] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come

2) Swiftech APOGEE XT Ultra Extreme Performance Water Block

Swiftech APOGEE XT Ultra Extreme Performance Water Block Products Model: APOGEE-XT [APOGEE-XT] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come

3)Primochill Tubing

4) Bitspower Fittings

You can add a reservoir for looks but its not needed with the swiftech kit because the radiator has a reservoir built into it :)

Here is a Absolutely FANTASTIC guide to water cooling and a absolute must read :)

Water Cooling Guide For Beginners

As for a Ups.. id only suggest the APC Smart Ups series with Full Sine wave output.

What animation apps is your friend going to use ? it would make sense to use 2 disks in raid 0 if he is into heavy work.

Cheers and kind regards :)

RIG for animation

Intel Core i7 950 ~ 15K
Gigabyte X58A UD3R/ SABERTOOTH X58 board ~ 12K --- 14K GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1366 - GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0)/ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards - ASUS SABERTOOTH X58
RAM ~ Corsair Dominator/ Corsair Vengeance/ G.Skill Pi TRI CHANNEL Memory Kits 2*6GB = 12 GB ~ 10K --- 15K Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Memory/Corsair Dominator DDR3 Memory/G.SKILL-Products
Graphics Card ~ Nvidia Quadro 4000 series/ ATi FirePro V 8800/ 9800 ~ 45K --- 55K NVIDIA Workstation/ATI FirePro
PSU ~ Corsair AX 750 or Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 750 W ---- ??? no idea so wait for others to tell Modular PSUs - Power Supplies/Silent Pro Gold 700W - Cooler Master
Cabinet ~ NZXT Tempest EVO or your choice ~ 5.7K --- 15K NZXT :: Unique. Unprecendented. Inspired - Tempest EVO Product Detail
Monitor Dell U2311H ~ 14K UltraSharp U2311H 23 inch Monitor Details | Dell India
For HDD get a Corsair or Intel SSD < 256 GB > + 2x 1TB Segate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA III ~ the SSD will give speedy time for most of your animation Apps and the rest act as surplus dump for Projects/ Games/ Music etc.
UPS get the APC Smart UPS as toolius mentioned Smart-UPS - Product Information

For CPU cooling get the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ as it doesn't seem your friend is OCing a great deal, I'm not aware of water cooling and audio departments so I have no comment suffice to say he doesn't need Audiophile stuff in animation, I tried to cram up the above without estimate cause I think you can do that by collating a better rig with matching other components in the above suggestions and mine

-- QUADRO and FirePro Graphics of the mid- range ( 45K to 100K range ) can easily play most games at full settings and draw less power than the gaming cards + they are certified for better rendering/ texturing/ lighting detail :)
-- You don't need a OC friendly board do run animation application I run MAYA on a AMD 785G system + 4GB RAM + ATi HD 5770 and I game too:)
-- hope your friend has a good time in animation and gaming
-- More RAM helps MAYA

thanks for reading this unedited pile of data and hope that it helps you :)

^ THANKS I LIKE THE MOBO ! :)

i7 950 is sure and overclock to 4-4.5ghz is sure too :)

plus the monitor you said is not gonna do 3d gaming right ?

so he needs the 3d kit too .

i was thinking an h70 for the cooling or can spend a little more for full water cooling !

please give suggestions :)
 
There is MSI board p67 one, which comes with believe it or not 8 PCIE x16 slots .... .:P better than their bigbang version :)

No use for him as P-67 mobos has less PCI-E lanes than X58.

Go for the Corsair H70 then if you plan to OC till that level Nvidia 3D Vision kit comes for ~ 12K < Bangalore >

3D monitors to go with the flavor < without prices cause I dunno >

Errr.... P67 can handle only 24 PCI-E lanes(16+8) whereas X58 can handle 42 lanes(36+6). There is reason why the P series is mid range and X series is flagship :P

@OP and His Friend :

There are several thing's I'd like to point out ,

1) Your friend is a gamer/animator - which kinda puts things in a fix - he needs to have a highly application centric h/w base but needs high frames for gaming , which a normal GPU for consumers just cant provide - hence I believe a workstation card is required - and a decent one which'd give decent frames on games too + fit your budget is pretty tough to come across - this brings you to one thing - you can absolutely rule out SLi/CfX.

-The reason I would suggest you go with a workstation is pretty obvious - a-you have the budget to do so , b-the amount of time it takes to get stuff renderd is like waaaay less when you compare a pro gpu with a normal one - this pretty much gives you/your friend a headstart. If you do your research right - you may find that the specs of the pro and gaming gpus to be the same - but then the ASIC and board design of pro gpus are far more specific than what you can see in a normal desktop gpu.

-This is just a pointer - I'm basically saying - by SLi/CFX you are basically blowing money away on an already maxxed out game - which neither helps you in gettting a better experience (better than single gpu) nor puts you in the work you do.

-In the end , It's a choice - and your's -I hope you take the well-informed one in this choice...
