Well there's only one thing I can think of and that's to check whether all those cooling options fit in your case / motherboard. It's a rather large heatsink you got there. Speaking of which... what case are you going with?

I'd also check on Asus forums if that memory has been tested and works well... Asus boards are picky with memory.

that build is a total overkill, save your money and get an asus p5b and an e6600
that PSU is also an overkill, get an Antec True Power Trio 550watt it will be more then enough to power that build
and do you really need two 8800gtxs? chances are not save your money and go with one or wait for ati to release its r600 and see which is better

with all the money you save you can get a nice sound card and speakers (if you dont already have a bad *** set)
