All looks ok to me, but why the 940? In all honesty the 920 is so easy to overclock its almost silly. Most will run 3.6,3.8 on air with no problems what so ever.

Just IMO of course:) (I just built a i7 and chose the 920 for this very reason)
 
im really not in to overclocking at all, and wouldn't know how to! LOL :)

Just want a nice stable eas to set up solution.

do you think the PSU is ok? and that graphics card will run 3 DVI monitors ok won't it?

PSU is more than you need so you are fine

the gfx cards have 2 dvi connections in the back (at least the 4870x2 has) so not sure how you could plug 3 monitors off the same card, that may just be ignorance on my part.
