Looks pretty good to me. Nice set up. About how much are you looking to spend? Tight budget?

I do think 850W is more than enough, maybe too much. But if you're thinking of upgrading to SLi, it may be worth it.

You may want to consider a higher teir PSU though.
Look here for general PSU rankings:

Coolermaster Real Power is a Tier 4, for what it's worth. I personally do not have any experience with it. It could be a nice PSU, who knows.

Here is a suggestion. A little more expensive though.
Also may want to consider Modular Cabling Support which makes it not only look better, but allows more air flow.
