Other than the PSU it looks great!

Never heard of the power supply maker, I'd go with a more well known brand for better stability!

Very nice rig. You might want to consider this RAM instead:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145034 

Its a better brand, also sli certified, got a lifetime warranty and only $1 more. Just check when you're going to purchase your hardware because the rebate for the corsair RAM expires before the OCZ. But you wont go wrong either way with the RAM, its up to you.

I'd suggest one of these two:

Apparently even the less powerful one will support two PCI-E cards...

They've both got great rreviews and I plan to get one for my new PC...

You might want to go with the 32-Bit version... I have heard bad things about  device drivers and compatability with the 64-Bit version.
