The setup is good...But here are few suggestions...

1. You wont need 850W PSU for that config of yours...Get the Corsair 750TX...It would be suffice even for 2x GTX 275 in SLI.
2. Get the WD BLack 1TB as it would be faster than other regular 1TB drives.
3. For the CPU cooler, get Xig Dark knight/ Scythe Mugen II...With those coolers, you can even go upto 3.6GHz...
4. For you resolution, currently a single GTX 275 can max out in most of the current games...And as you are planning for another GTX 275 later, it can hold on more than a year or 2 or maybe even more...but that would completely depend on you...

As for the RAM, get the OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600MHz...It has CAS 7 and is around the same price range as any other 1600MHz RAMs...
