I wouldn't get the TT psu just not that great IMO. Check out some G-Skills ram I use it quite a bit in my builds. Don't get my wrong Corsair make good products but The G-skills might be cheaper and have better timings. 2 580s might be over kill but if you got the money and are going to game at hi resolution go for it.

I wouldn't get the ocz...their reliability is questionable at best. Go with the crucial m4
