I know this will give me 16GB, i was going to run 12Gb but is that not more designed at a Tri Channel setup?

Is this any good, my current one is a PCPAC 1kw, but i dont want to have to undo the current case to get it out, was a pain to get in there, plus its 5 years old.
CASE?
It needs to have great cable management, i currently have the CM Armor case, ( 5 year old ) as this system can be used elsewhere in the house, ill go with a new case, i heard the HAF-X case is good, but personally i think it looks shocking to look at LOL. Full tower would be best.
HDD-SSD?
I have a WD Raptor 160Gb that can be formatted and used if needed, but i think the SSD's now a days could be used for everyday use, as this is a primary gaming system, surely an SSD would be best.
OS
This will be Windows 7 64bit
MONITOR
I really want to go with the U2711 from Dell, but my desk is only 32Inches in width, so id be sitting approx 2-2 1/2 feet from it, is this far enough away to really enjoy the monitor, or should i drop down to the 24" Ultrasharp from Dell...
Anything else i missed, sound card is not a biggy for me, i use a headset for gaming to communicate with friends etc over TS/Vent.
Thanks guys.
