It's been a while since I built my current system, and it's time for an upgrade. I hadn't built the last rig with overclocking in mind, but this time around I'm planning to try my hand at it. I did some research and came up with the list of parts below, but I've been out of touch for a long time and I'm sure there is room for improvement.
Case - NZXT Tempest

PSU - Silverstone DA800 800W PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256036
Mobo - ASUS Rampage Formula
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131284
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16 E8500
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115048
RAM - Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR2 1066
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145197
Video - ASUS Radeon HD 4850 *2 in Crossfire
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121253
HDD - Western Digital Caviar SE16 640 Gb *2 in RAID 0
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218
Optical - Pioneer DVD+-W/RW Dual Layer CDW/RW

Later I may add another 4GB pair of the same memory, but I think four gigs should do well enough for now. I'll also likely add a DVD-ROM for copying, but that's not an immediate need. I also intend to use the on-board sound (or the card that comes with the mobo), and have speakers/monitor/keyboard/mouse.
Please, if there's something I'm forgetting, if I've made a poor decision, or if there is something similar to what I have that will give more bang for the buck, let me know. I'm also a little concerned about whether or not I selected a large enough power supply. The calculators I used didn't have the equipment I'm planning to put in it, and I worry that I didn't select something close enough.
Other than that, any input or suggestions would be helpful.
