Need advice. Is this configuration good for running the system 24/7/365 with 100% load on CPU/GPU?

I have a desktop system with the following configuration. Am planning to use this as a dedicated computing or number crunching resource for my SETI@Home, Einstein@Home, the Pogs... projects with their OpenCL-optimized binaries which will utilize GPU/CPU for number crunching and am planning for 24/7/365 utilization (strictly no games/overclocking/other activities). Does this configuration withstand the 24/7/365 load? Any recommendation / suggestion / feedback for improvement is highly welcome.

The desktop configuration is as follows:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
CPU: Intel 2.9 GHz LGA 1155 G2020 (with stock heatsink/fan)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (with stock heatsink)
PSU: Corsair VS550 550 Watt
GPU: Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X with Boost OC 2 GB Dual-X
SDD: Kingston SV300S37A 60GB Internal
Other HDD/Optical Drives: --Not Installed--
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro x64

All these housed in a Cooler Master Elite 311 Mid Tower cabinet (with stock cabinet fan).

Hi 'tea urchin', thank you very much. I appreciate the pointers about cool down period, dust accumulation from prolonged usage. I would consider them once I start using the system.

I would get an additional HDD for storage, as the less on your SSD, the faster and more stable the system will be.
