Couple of questions. What is the rating of the current power supply in your PC? Also - what OS are you planning on running?

Any 32 bit OS will not be able to access the memory.

You need to insure the PS is up to handling the hardware your throwing in - with room to spare if you plan on going SLI later on.

Lastly - if is this machine only going to be for gaming? If so, you may want to consider the AMD offerings. Gaming specs are very close with the I7's and the Phenom 2's - but the i7's do outperform in more "mundane" tasks like video editing and such.
