Ok, that is my exact system except for the RAM. And I would have gotten that ram if it wasn't so pricey at the time. I got the 6400c/d. When you try to overclock, it naturally bumps the ram upto 1066.
I think my system is pretty kickass. Six Months ago that system cost me $1700, I had the case, keyboard/mouse, monitor but had to get a powersupply also (700w). So if you can get it for less than $1700 ( that includes 3 80Gb drives for $135 ),...say $1450 then that's still a reasonable deal. I plan to add the second vid card maybe this time next year. I would say your powersupply is on the weak side for this system and your only worry is that you will need to replace it when you get a another vid card for SLI. I use onboard audio, its fine, but I'm pretty tone death anyway. An audio card might tip the scale though. You might have problems lightscribing while doing other stuff but that's it.
Plus you have me and spoony to diagnose problems together because we both have the same thing too.
Good choice. Resend order.

All the components really were fine, just swap out the memory for some DDR-800.
And get a different PSU/Case.
Here is the RAM I picked up. Gotten some great reviews.

My brother suggested a Fortron, or Antec PSU to me after I sent the order through.
You should check out those. For me, the PSU was my only ordering flaw
My shipment
arrives tomorrow whee!! I'll update it when I get the chance. Going to a friend's
place tomorrow night, so I won't have time to play with it, and afterwards, I'll probably
have had too much liquor to think straight about putting the comp together....
why the hell have I talked this much..
