Nope, setup looks alright and you should be able to overclock well on that motherboard(8+2 Power phase, VRM heatsinks). I have it myself and overclocks just fine. If anything, I would change that power supply to one of known company like Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair, Antec etc.
You also don't 800W of a power supply. If you can, put an SSD in there. Put one in mine recently and everything is just faster (not gaming performance wise)
