Don't you need SLI enabled for dual-screens?

Very good choices there man. Few changes though.

I would get this PSU

See if you can get a Dell E248 WFP on eBay. You can probably find a good deal on it. As far as inexpensive HD monitors go that's one of the best ones out there.

Logitech MX518 is a good mouse. It's reasonably priced as afr as gaming mice go.

I use a Logitech RX700 and it works very well.

Yeah, both of those are just fine. I have that Acer at my Dads work and it's very nice.

P.S. Why are you on the Newegg Canada website?

It may be worth running down to your local (trusted)
computer store to make sure you put it all together correctly
that is what I did on My last 3 I built Myself.
An hour of labor is still cheaper than a daul core 3.0 AMD.

Nah, it's so much more satisfying to make it yourself. You'll need a screw driver, and also just touch unpainted parts of your case repeatedly to ground yourself.

P.S. You bought a Tuniq Tower. That's an excellent cooler, so you should be able to overclock quite a bit!
