if i were you i wouldn't throw my money in the garbage by getting that ram just get 6b at 1333, secondly those 2gb 285's will never ever see use until there is a screen that supports like a millon resolution so get 2x gtx 275's that is all.

Well with all that graphics power i dont even think theres a monitor to handle all that but the Dell 3007WFP-HC is beats all other 30" monitors and speakers go with the Klipsch-ProMedia-Multimedia 5.1 for the ultimate gaming experience.

Sounds like the monitor above will fit your needs.
Or if you have to settle, go for the Apple 30".
You'll need at least something like that to utilize those tri 285's.

I think a 13 year old with an ego like yours and all of mom and dad's money to spend... that fits well.  Oops, did I just say what everyone else was thinking?
