    Why not get anther cheap G.skill set and turn down the timings to 4-4-4-12? Then you will have your previous 2Gb + another 2Gb at 4-4-4-12.

    ASUS Rampage

    If your going to CF its the board you want...and yes the two PCIe is a price factor, it's just like buying a 680i 790i etc...then there are other things like OCing capability and the 1600FSB also little things like 2xLan ports, extra things you wont find in a vanilla board.

    Need MB/CPU recommendation for new build

    If you can't wait get a Q6600 + Scythe Katana 2 CPU Cooler + P5Q PRO and overclock it, when the prices drop on the Q9xxx series replace the Q6600 if it is not providing the horsepower you need. I personally run the P5Q PRO and is a solid MB, last board was ASUS P5K PRO with a Q6600, their boards...

    External HDD choices

    Any enclosure is good as long as it has good transfer rate (480mps) and that it can support sata, you can even get enclosures that support multiple drives so you could save money by buying two 500gb drives and placing them in raid in the enclosure.

    Could really use some help with new build

    Stay away from the pc2-8500, its just a money grabber. Theres a good chance you wont even use all of the 400mhz of the pc2-6400 when OCing, and if you need a little more mHz, you can OC the ram and loosen the timings. ram from ncix 4gb kit decent price. patriot ram

    power supply for q6600?

    Depends on the Gen of video card and components you have in your system, not usually recommended to run high end hardware with low watt PSU. Myself Im looking to get a new PSU becuase 500W isn't even comforting for me.
