What cooler would i need for 4.5Ghz on the 3570k? Will the Cooler Master 612S manage this?

This is what I've got so far, going to use the windows 8 preview to save a little bit of money at first.

Is this PSU enough for SLI in the future?

Will this ram fit below the cooler?

Thanks.

That's my spec bar the PSU bud. I wouldn't spec stuff that doesn't work together. 750W is ok to SLI the 670, however I did point you to a very good 850W modular PSU for less cash :/

I like the look of that PSU, but I've heard that a lot of people have been having problems with the fan making an annoying clicking noise, so that put me off getting it.
