Exclamation Have I missed Anything?

My new computer upgrade/project is quickly approaching, and i feel pretty confident with how i have balance things out. I am looking to leech off everyone knowledge to find out if there is anything that i may have overlooked.
This upgrade will mainly be focusing on cooling solutions and some visual asthetics in the form of a new case and some LED fans. In my new rig this is how thing are set to play out...

The case will be the TT Tsunami w/ side window.
As many of you know the case itself is a good alround performer, with a 120mm fan for intake in the front, a 120 mm fan for exhaust in the rear, and a 92mm side panel fan. To this i have planned to add much more.
The 120mm fan on my OCZ modstream PSU is a help to the cooling sitution but i am adding more, I am also upgrading the cpu cooler from a stock AMD cooler, to the TT Big Typhoon, i plan on removing the USB, firewire, etc mount on the top of the case to allow for a 120mm blowhole., i also plan on modding the side window to allow for an additional 92mm side fan, and i have played with the idea of adding another 120mm fan at both the intake and exhaust of the case. Bringing my total fan count to 7 case fans, PSU fan, and CPU cooler fan.
ALL fans to be QUAD LED fans linked below: http://reviews.pcapex.com/modding/fr...and_grills.php
Big Typhoon Link below:

I will also be needing a fan controller seeing as my ASUS A8N-E board only allows for control of 3 fans. This is an item which i am still undecided on and open to any suggestions or recomendations.

What i need to know is will all of these cooling products meet the need, and keep my case running cool, the rig is mainly a gaming machine, and will do some overclocking as games dictate. I would like to have the head room to add to the system during future modding projects and upgrades, as i plan to move to an SLI set up within the next year or so!
Currently my system is running too hot...while running SuperPI, and programs like Bionic my cpu temp averages 56 degrees at full load!!!!!

My current system specs follow below for additional info:

OCZ Modstream 450watt PSU, ASUS A8N-E s939 mobo, Athlon 64 3700+, 1gb OCZ platinum rev 2
(2-2-2-5), Sapphire X800XL, 200gb Maxtor Diamondmax 16mb HDD, Sony DVD+RW, Sony CD+RW
