I'm getting ready for my first build and wanted you guys' advice on my build list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3MnlR. I went with the 850w power supply, because I'll probably be doing an SLI configuration in the future. Also, I'll be overclocking the CPU and GPU, so do I need to invest in more case fans? I'm doing an after-market heat sink already. I'm sure when I set up SLI I'll need more fans, but is it necessary for now?

Don't think you'll need to add fans,with that case you already get all the fans you want,

from NZXT,
Cooling System :
FRONT, 1 X 140mm (only one missing)
REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
SIDE, 2 x 120mm, 1 x 200/230 (2 x 120mm included)
TOP, 2 X 200mm (1 x LED 200mm included)
Click to expand...

That topfan could go to the side panel as an intake.The only thing you could add would be a 140mm fan if you wanted to

The topplaces would be taken by the h100i.

Why two hdd's? Maybe that a ssd would add more speed?

For the same money would i add the next ram,

I actually switched it to a SSD with an HDD storage. I originally though it would be a good idea to have two HDDs with a RAID 1 configuration, but after reading a little more, it seems that most people don't do that.
