any advice would be much appreciated

 
yes it will all work .

You could save some money on the RAM . Low latency 1333 MHz is just as fast . Look at the Phenom memory scaling article on TOMs .

The 850 watt psu is over kill .
650 for a single fgfx card is plenty , MAYBE 750w if you want to add a second card .

Very expensive mb . Does it actually have features you need? If not then there are better options in terms of bang per buck
