I would change the RAM to DDR3 1600 or above

I would go with 3 x 2GB modules to take full advantage of the triple channel memory support.

im kinda on a budget and dont really wanna waste anymore money on 6 gig if its not worth it

On a budget, but you're buying a 1000W PSU and planning on the currently poorly supported Tri-SLI?

i didnt mean tri sli anytime soon maybe next november if then. and that power supply is a good price for 1000. im tryin to keep this thing under 1600 and right now im at 1583 (1493 with rebates) and i dont think DDR3 1600 is worth it right now

If you're building for gaming you don't want to go i7. Just go for a P45-UD3P motherboard, e8600 and 8GB DDR2-1000 (two G.Skill kits). Overclock to 4GHz or so and nothing will slow you down.
