Your GPU selection is somewhat of a personal choice. You can Crossfire the 4890's and demolish games but you won't have DX 11 for future releases. You could wait for the 5800's to be in stock readily but who knows when that will be? I've decided to Crossfire 5770's as they bench on par with a single 5870 and they are much easier to find. I had to get my 5770 off of Amazon since they are also getting scarce but much easier to get a hold of than a 5800 series. Since I went through Amazon I had to pay an extra $20 for tax and shipping ![[:bohleyk:7]](http://img.tomshardware.com/forum/uk/images/perso/7/bohleyk.gif "[:bohleyk:7]")
The AsRock Extreme is reviewed very well. You shouldn't have more trouble figuring out OCing than any other OCing board. Just read up on the i7 OC guides on the web and you should be gold.
I see no problems with that build. Well done!
