Might I suggest MSi Afterburner for your GPU.

I'm jealous of the dual cards~ I have 4GB of RAM atm, but upgrading it is next on my list (nothing of mine really NEEDS upgraded at the moment, so any upgrades would just be for funsies/penis envy). Beyond that, I want dual cards--My graphics card now should last several years, but I still look forward to utilizing crossfire.

Nice build.
Those AMD chips have a tendency to OC well as long as you cool them well enough so you should be able to hit 4GHz pretty easily. A decent direct touch heatpipe air cooler should be able to get you to 4-ish.

To be honest I haven't heard great things about Rosewill PSUs. I tend to stick to the "higher end" PSU brands (heh)

And just so people know as it wasn't really confirmed earlier, that motherboard does NOT support SLI.

Technically it doesn't conform to CrossfireX either as the second PCIe 16x slot is a 4x electrical slot. Although you may be able to run CrossfireX with mixed results.

Whoops. 16x, 4x, does actually conform to CrossfireX although I think there might be a slight bottleneck.
