I'd suggest you get a better case. There's not much cable management in that case. My friend has one, he hates it. Just a thought though. 

It's a computer.

Don't forget a cooler if you are going to overclock!

212 evo if you want a good overclock and OK temps
https://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?kind=pcBuilder&componentType=required&articleId=915234&className=cpufan&activeClassName=cpufan
D14 if you want a slightly better overclock with much better temps

Be careful how you word it. A Quality 750W PSU will be able to power SLI 570s without an issue, but this PSU, having only ~600W on the 12v rail will have trouble doing it. It will run the SLI setup, but once under heavy load, it will shut down.
