It's been a few years since I last built a PC so I'm a bit out of touch... hence why I need some advice from you guys!

The system is primarily for web design/development and the odd game.

Here's the spec -

CPU
Intel Nehalem i7 920 S1366 2.66GHz

Motherboard
Asus S1366 Intel X58 ATX A L CF/SLI

Graphics
XFX ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Retail

RAM
Corsair Memory Corsair 6GB 1600MHz DDR3 CL9

Hard Drive
Seagate 1.5TB Barracuda 7200RPM SATA-300 32MB

Optical Drive
Samsung S223Q Lightscribe 22x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Black SATA - OEM

Case
Antec Nine Hundred Black Ultimate Gamer Case

PSU
Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant Power Supply

Network Card
Edimax EW-7728In 802.11n (draft) 2.0 Wireless PCI Card

Monitor
Samsung 22" Wide SM2243WM 5ms DVI TFT Black

I need to add a CPU cooler to that list...

Anyone got any tips/comments/compatibilty issues?

All help would be appreciated!

2 things one the HDD seagate is not a good company to buy from sometimes you can get a good one most of the time you get bad ones. I have did a RMA on my seagate twice already the one I have now has been holding strong for 3 months now the last 2 lasted 2 weeks. Look at a Western Digital Caviar Black http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284 it is less space but a whole lot better quality. The PSU might be a little weak for the 4870 x2 I would go with a 750watt. If you ever wont to crossfire two of them you will need a 1000w or better. Here is a good CPU cooler to get for the i7 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103055. I hope I was some help to you and welcome to Computer Fourm.
