Can you say Grrrr?

Just looking for some opinions. The goal is a powerful overclocking/gaming rig with no compromises as per the customer wants. They basically said under 5 grand and its good to go. Here's what I have so far:

CPU: QX6850
MOBO: ASUS Striker Extreme
RAM: OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066 2x1GB
VGA: 2 x EVGA 8800Ultra in SLI
PSU: PC P&C Silencer 750
Hdds: 1 x Raptor X 10k 150Gb and 1 x Hitachi Deskstar 1 TB
Case: Cooler Master Stacker 830 Evo
Cooling: Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme
OS: 64 Bit Vista Ultimate

Subtotal with various peripherals - $4700

Does anyone see anything that might not be compatible or could be upgraded to something significantly better? I will be personally overclocking it for the customer before it is given to them. The goal is daily 3.4+. personal goal is 3.8+
