Good Combination?

MSI 870A-G55 + AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz. I am intending to overclock the CPU with my ATI Radeon HD 6870 1GB. And also, looking to get 8GB DDR3 RAM and overclock that if possible too. I have a 600W PSU. Every input is well appreciated.

8 gb of ram may limit your overclock. The more ram you're running the more strain on the Ingegrated Memory Controller. Do you really need 8 gigs? What apps are you running that benefit from that much? Other than that, seems like the CPU and board are good choices.
