this is a great configuration..but the thing you could improve is the quality of the psu. this for instance is better and more efficient one:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-139-010 but you really no need to go with 750w . this one is cheaper but greater quality and enough for your setup even with harcore overclocking exept you are planning on sli sometime.
