Personally, i'd change the ram to one of the triple channel kits. As they run within intel spec (1.65volts max, although i know there is divided opinion about whether running higher voltages actually causes damage)

I think you may be paying over the odds for the EVGA Motherboard unless it has something extra over the other manufacturers im missing?

What will the pc be being used for? (As i see you haven't specced additional HDD's or sound card)

Why 4 rather than 6gig at least?

Only slightly better performance increase with tri channel but meh, if your spending that much on 4 why not slip in 2 more?

can u advise me on which triple channel kit to get?i want the fastest available can u point me in the right direction please?Also i went for the evga board as i heard its the best for overclocking and the best for tri SLI.....
i am using the pc for games only
 
Well again, personally, i go with OCZ or Corsair for my ram, so i'd say any of those kits.

Fair enough with the motherboard, will you actually be overclocking it? For what its worth; tri-sli doesn't scale well at all, each to their own though ;)
