you could push it up to 9gb Ram?

but thats all i can think of

and if your that into gaming get a top noch sound card?
 
You can get a better PSU on paper atleast, i would still rather have the corsair, but if you want the creme de la creme of PSU then

And also a few solid state drives in RAID0 and 1 or 2 others purely for storage, the better you can keep the SSD free from clog and clutter, the better they will perform

Also, keep cooling in mind, if money isn't an issue as you say, water cooling in a very large case, either lian li, coolermaster, zalman or an ABS canyon are good choises, but not the bargain bucket ones, the $600ish + ones, the cheaper ones that are over $150 would suffice, but if you want the best, that is the stuff you are on about

I read somewhere that you only need that much RAM if you're going to use Photoshop on HD images and stuff like that. But I was thinking about 12gb RAM though, just to make it sound better :P
And idk what soundcard to get, any suggestions then?

Is it only the 200 watts that make the difference between them? Because I thought 1000w was more than enough.
And I'm a bit of a newb in harddrives, why is solid state better than.. not-solid state? And is RAID better than SATA then?
And I would love to do watercooling, but is there a cooling-kit for i7? Because I don't think there is one. I've never done watercooling so I would like a fool-proof kit with clear instructions. Because if I make a mistake; there goes my $1000 CPU and what not.
