One comment:
PSU is way overpowered - a quality 500W PSU is more than enough.

Tips:
Make sure the system is properly cooled, especially CPU and VGA need to have proper airflow. Verify your memory runs with the voltage specified by the memory manufacturer - if it's one of those OC RAM then they may need a lot more juice to acheive their rated speed and timings.
