nope u need more memory on ur graphics card
 
that PSU probaly wont power that computer.
a 6400+ will be better for gaming.
so u need case, PSU, CPU, GPU, Ram this would be a better build for the Around the same price $550.
CPU $169.00
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103228
MOBO $84.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128327
Ram $45.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227089
Video card $164.99 after MIR

PSU $44.99 after MIR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341012
case $59.00
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144106
this is $568.96 this is a hell of alot better than the build you had.
this will game probaly about 30% better than your build.

i would not trus that PSU brand. but if u want.
the PSU i gave u is more powerfull in the 12V rails an one of the best PSU brands.
 
yea there ok if you want one that supports SLI CF 550W is not going to be enougf i still think you should go with the first one i said
 
crossfire support.
meaning you can get another oner of them Vidoe cards 3870 an have 2 of then running in your computer at the same time it is called crossfire an for that you will need a about a 600W PSU with about 45 amps.
oh an u need a crossfire MOBO to do this.
 
as for cooling there will be 2 80mm case fans, the psu fan, and the fans on the gpu and cpu
will this be enough for hours of gaming? should i get more/nicer fans and a better heatsink or am i fine? (take into account hrs gaming)
and will the psu be enough for hrs of gaming?

yea that will be fine as for cooling.
just make sure the rear case fan is sucking the air out of the case. an the other case fan is blowing air in.
the CPU an GPU fans will be fine.
