If you are curious this game runs the Unreal 3 engine (http://www.unrealengine.com/) Which is designed to run on an extremely wide range of machines, with extreme lows/highs

So i wanted it to look good!

Will it run the Hawken and other future games on max? Probably not.
I hate to be a debbie downer, but I will have to echo what EmpReb said. If you are buying prebuilt "high end" computers then please believe me when I say you are getting ripped off. The quality of the components MAINGEAR is giving you is not equivalent to the price they're asking. The Vybe S you want to buy is $1,199.00, yet the components would qualify as only a mid to low end gaming rig, and I could put together the same computer for under $800. For the same price you can build yourself a high end PC that can max out any game for the next 2-3 years. You won't even max out the top games right now with the Vybe S you showed.
The funny thing is, the MAINGEAR Vybe S case is the exact same case I have. It's a Bitfenix Shinobi windowed version. I paid $54. How much do you think they're charging you? You are under the impression that their computers are of higher quality which simply is not true. They do not have access to parts that you or I can't purchase and put together ourselves.
You said your goal is to make youtube gaming video which is great and shows that you have some interest in technology. Building your own PC is not only simple and much cheaper. It is a highly rewarding experience. You don't have anything to lose by building your own. There are plenty of information online and tons of people willing to help, myself included.
But if you are still determined to buy that computer with those specs, know that you will have difficulty recording high quality gameplay.

Now, Newegg, you say? I'll look into it.
And I'll prolly just get a liquid cooler seperately from MAINGEAR, that thing's amazing.
Or, if there is a better cooler, tell me now. They got rated pretty high because of that little thing alone.

First take a look at http://s1002.photobu...rrent=Guide.png This is a very general guide on what you can get at different budgets. You can compare the Maingear specs/price and see just how incomparable the difference is. It also gives you a basic idea of what parts are required and what you should be looking for.
Since the Vybe was around $1200, I'm assuming that's where your idea budget is. In my opinion, this budget is perfect to build a rig that will last you a good 2-3 years. Technology and prices change so quickly every year that spending a ton to get the very best will see diminishing returns.
I can help suggest a build list for you but that takes away part of the fun in building a PC. I think it's much better if you do the research yourself and check out reviews, prices,...etc in order to better understand what should go in your PC. The beauty of building your own rig is the unlimited options you have. Assuming you live in the U.S there are plenty of stores to buy from. Do not just shop at Newegg. You will find plenty of good deals from various vendors. It's up to you to do the research to find the best prices. The more savings you get, the more you can put the money back into your computer for better parts. You may find http://pcpartpicker.com/ helpful
The "water cooling" system you keep mentioning is a 'closed loop' system. They are different from custom water cooling systems. The benefits of water cooling is more relevant when you overclock your system; they are able to keep your CPU cooler at loads. Otherwise, you will not see a real difference between water or air. However, these close loop systems are extremely popular recently and they are a good option for cooling. Some googling shows that Maingear is partnered with Coolit for their coolers. So basically, they take Coolits systems, put their Maingear brand on it, and sell it to you for a higher amount. Seems silly when you can essentially buy the same system from a vender for a smaller markup. I do not know anything about Coolit system so it's up to you to do some research if you want that. However, another brand I can suggest for these types of coolers are the Corsair H series. They seem to be by far the most popular, so I definitely recommend them.
Figure out what parts you need. Pick the parts you want to buy. Then come back and we can help you make changes or suggestions. Have fun.

Also, I like the fact that you took the time to write all of this to me. Thanks!
