I have an almost identical system here:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700(@ 2.66Ghz, 4MB L2 Cache,1066 FSB)
Asus P5N-E SLI Motherboard
4GB RAM (x4 1Gig 800Mhz OCZ Modules)
4x Seagate 500G HDDs (1+0 Array)
2x BFG 8800 GTX
Sound Blaster X-fi Elite Pro
BFG 1000W PSU
**All fitted in a Thermaltake VA8003BWS Armour Super Tower case (the one
with the 25CM!!! fan on the side, and a second drive bay 10cm fitted).

The video cards on my rig can tend to get very hot, I'm wondering if the
case you are using (what case are you using) is up to the job of keeping the
overclocked XFX cards properly chilled. If you can get the (some what
buggy) nTune utility to run, what sort of temperatures is it reporting?
