looks ok to me

First of all I suggest you read the thread if you are new to overclocking read here for starters then post back with any questions or issues you may have.

As for your system it looks like a decent setup although if I may add the motherboard type could have been better but as for the rest of the components especially the power supply they are excellent choices

Took a fast glance at some of the screenies. On the mainboard tab it shows your pci-ex16 is running at x4. That'll have an impact on any games that you play, but can probably be taken care of. Wait and see, might go away once it's overclocked a bit, if not it may be like the x1 bug. You also have speedstep on, which is why it's showing at 1600Mhz.
