Hey I would like some help and see if these computer components are going to work and are great together. I would also like to know if these parts would run well as a vista 64 bit ultimate setup. Please help me for all those smart tech people. Also does this ddr3 dual channel RAM work on the mother board which uses triple channel? And which do you guys prefer i get if since i am creating this computer for gaming, vista or xp? i have heard that vista is well worked b.c. of the amount of ram they allow you to take in but also to con thing is that there are still bugs to be fixed. and I'm not quite sure which to take I've always used xp but would like to change to vista but if it is not highly recommended then I will not.

So I have:

1.MSI X58 Pro LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

2.Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920

3.CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI

4.SAPPHIRE 100245L Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP OR (NEWLY UPDATED) HIS Hightech H487F512P Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

5.Seagate ST3640323AS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM OR (NEWLY UPDATED) Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

6.G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory or G.SKILL 3GB (3 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7T-3GBPK if dual channel doesn't work

ALSO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THESE PARTS WILL FIT TOGETHER AND WORK PERFECTLY!!!!

i would at least get 3 x 2GB RAM so you can run triple channel. Might want a bigger and badder video card if you can afford it too not that a 4850 is bad or anything.
