Your memory "Corsair DDR3 6GB PC-12800/1600 (3x 2GB XMS3) TR3X6G1600C7 Ram" sounds like 3 ch and you are building a 2 ch computer.

Also, see my MOBO in my sig, it would not clock (at least mot easily) at 1600, not supported. Go to Frys and get Kingston 1366 DDR3 CL7. OK I just checked, no 1600 memory support, your MOBO looks just like mine except yours has USB 3.0.

I dont fully understand this but with only one true PCI 16 2.0 you cannot fully take advantage of Crossfire you you plan to, something about the second card and x4.

That said I like my MOBO and it works great. The built computer in your link looks WAY overpriced. What is your build, about $1300?
