I can help you with some of this.
First off, your psu should be fine for the time being. I wouldn't use it for SLI or powering your water cooling setup though.
I had a cnps 9700 cooling my q6600 for several months and it did just fine. (1.35v @ 3.0 Ghz). It kept loaded temps below 60c which is what you would be shooting for.
I can't really say which hardware to get for water cooling, but Danger Den and Zalman are pretty well known. I would add Swiftech to the list and see what you can come up with. For cooling the GTS and the quad I think you would be happier with a 120.3 radiator (sized for 3 120mm fans).
I've had good luck with my current G.Skill ram (2 - 2Gb modules) but you should know that you will need to use a 64bit OS to take full advantage of 4Gb or more of ram. 32bit OS's will only use something between 2.8 and 3.5 GB depending on your systems other hardware.
A q6600 at stock speed of 2.4Ghz will show a 20-30% increase over a 3.0Ghz opty 185 in most benchmarks.
