Cool My Build.. what do you think?

So im pretty sure i will be going with this. what do you guys think?

Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
Thermalright HR-09U Type 2
Thermalright HR-05 IFX Northbridge Heatsink
Thermalright HR-05 IFX SLI Northbridge Heatsink

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Heatsink
Prolimatech AM2/AM3 Retention Mount Adapter Kit
Scythe S-FLEX 120mm Fan 1900rpm SFF21G

Patriot PC3-12800 2x2GB DDR3 PVS34G1600LLK 7-7-7-20 1600mhz
Thermalright HR-07 Duo Memory Heatsink Type H

ATI HD4890 x2 Crossfire (still dont know what brand yet. its between gigabyte, HIS, powercolor)
Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo x2

Antec CP-850 850w PSU



Think that is everything.. already have my antec 1200 case
This build will hopefully future proof myself. AM3 slot, DDR3, xfire
May have to get something like Corsair HX-1000W to future proof myself even more, or Enermax Revolution85+ SLI 1250W :O

Nothing's future proof, but the build looks very solid dude. I would also agree on a different PSU... a Corsair, PC P&C or Silverstone would be more reliable IMO

Also, I find it funny that you have a practical thermalright city, but decided on Arctic Cooling instead of Trad2s... the Megahalem I can understand as AMD compatibility with thermalright is less than desirable. Also be sure to pair the Megahalem with a 120x38 (San Ace, Panaflo, or Ultra Kaze) - the tight fins and thick tower design benifts from the extra static pressure of a 120x38 over a 120x25

I did have a look at the T-RAD2, but apparently that doesnt fit the 4890's. If it did I would get 2 of them as well as 2 92mm panaflos for each

As for the fan for the CPU cooler, San Ace isnt available to me, and I can only get the Panaflo 'low speed' 1700rpm.
Other then that, I can get Delta and Ultra Kazes so I am looking at the 2000rpm Kaze

That's a really nice PSU, but being CPX form factor, it will only work with a handful of cases.

Twelve Hundred, P183 and P193.
