Crossfire mobo with the 8800 gtx? that's a bit odd.

You know, you should wait for ATI's blah blah blah....not! (I wanted to get that in before someone else did :)) Looks pretty snazzy, but I pref the 600 series mobos myself.

Change your RAM to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148070 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148069

Faster RAM, same company, and barely over/under $200 after rebates. It's even cheaper right off the bat. That's a hell of a deal for Ballistix RAM, I'm very tempted to buy some myself.

Also kind of wondering about the motherboard - the Bad Axe 2 isn't a bad motherboard, but it's a bit outdated. Why not look around at the nForce 6-series motherboards instead?

I along with many others would advise you to get a Nvidia 680i motherboard
