Apart from the graphics card, all the other parts are fine.
I don’t know if you need 3 way SLI at all with that card.
Ditch the water cooling and get a better graphics card.
Case, power supply?
Add a GTX460 /HD 6870 at the min for gaming dude
For movies the Gt430 is more than enough but for gaming it just wont cut it
