IMHO you have a very good plan and a good system to overclock with / exception is the BFG power supply

I would sell that off on ebay and get a Corsair TX-750 watt

the BFG is know to thrown sparks when overclocked or pushed hard in SLI

other than that; you have a good plan and I think your goals are dooable

provided you take little steps to get to these numbers and keep running double instances of prime after each clock increase >>>>> for one hour minimum

you may need to bump your cpu voltage to 1.45 along the way to keep it stable

keep us posted
