You might want to check the compatability of the Ram with the motherboard(there is a big thread in the Motherboards forum and I think it is fine but I can't remember offhand), other than that you have a collection of good solid parts with a fair bit of overclocking potential.

The PSU is fine, it is a modern PSU from a good brand so will easily cope although for very heavy overclocks you may need to consider something else.
As for other combinations I'd wait a while and see what anyone else can come up with.
