OCZ informed me that my 800W elitexstream would run a 4ghz quad core, 280gtx, 8800gt and 9600gso all three overclocked as far as I could get them without starting to break a sweat. 800W is ludicrous amounts of power. From a respected brand (i.e. corsair/pc power and cooling/seasonic/bequiet/couple of others) it'll run pretty close to anything you can plug into it. Four 285's might be asking a bit much, but I wouldn't want to bet either way. I'll recommend whichever modular corsair takes your fancy.
Mind you, this psu did then expire. I put this down to coincidence.
500gb OS and 1tb data makes sense actually. I'm a bit more skewed, 30gb operating system 2tb data. Samsung F1's are pretty loved, I'd probably have gone with a 320 and a 1tb from Samsung instead but there really isn't much to call between them.
There's a whole thread even now fighting over the best air cooler. I expect the TRUE to win it (and have voted for this). Out of the box with properly chosen fans it beats almost all the competition (including some efforts with water). If you lap it then it's pretty unbeatable. Lapping it will rob you of the will to live mind, it's difficult and takes ages. I used a machine to do mine and it still took ages. It does not come with fans. Sign of quality that, a discerning user chooses their own. Like decent cases generally not coming with power supplies.
p.s. We'd probably all do it slightly differently, that's the joy to computers. I almost forgot the initial question: Nope, you've forgotten nothing, it'll go together beautifully. I presume of course that you're using a beta of windows 7, a previous copy of windows, or linux.
