Upgrade advice

I'm looking to upgrade my current system by purchasing the below, I intend to have a go at overclocking but do not know what ram, cooler and motherboard would be best for this (I intend to go SLI in the future if this makes any difference).

Also I currently have an enermax 600W atx 2.0 psu will this be ok or do I need an atx 2.2 psu?

If anyone would care to spec me an alternative budget is around £800. As always any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Looks good to me, although personally im not to keen on the cooler, maybe something like the turniq or the freezer. Im using the freezer and its producing amazing results, much cooler than i could have ever expected, Im idling at 26 degrees on stock and 35 degrees clocked to 3.2ghz and Im using a Core2Duo E6600 as per my sig.

only thing with the ninja and the EVGA 680 is you will have to cut a small amout of metal off the ninja mounting other wise it will crush some bits on the board.. apart from that every things fine check the evga forums for adice on how to do it
