Yes, though don't get 4x2GB of RAM on an X58 board, it's designed for triple channel RAM (3x2GB)

You can, but you'd be better off with 3x2GB since it will run in tri channel.

you wouldn't want 4x2GB anyway. 2x4GB is a much better configuration since it leaves room to upgrade.

If you need more than 6Gb, you could always go 3x4GB.

Ok, I'll go for this: Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 8GB, CL9 Kit w/2x ValueRAM 4GB DDR3

But, I can have GTX 470 SLI, right?

You buy 166 instead of 1333...? Not sure what you're asking here. Most sets are very clearly marked and advertised.

Don't use 2 sticks on an X58 board as already explained, it will only run in Single Channel mode.

Use 3 sticks.

You just need to search for 6GB DDR3 on newegg and find a set that has 1600mhz somewhere in the listing name. You will want triple channel with an X58 board

I can't, I'm buying it from Komplett.no because I live in Norway and I don't want to pay a sick shipping price!
