I think I decided in this Ram: OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Platinum System Memory EQ

I didn't get in to specifics but the goal was to put OS, software and games on the Raptor as well as raw video, I will then edit from that drive to one of the 250's.... the other 250 will be storage and such.

Doesn't look like that board has a firewire input - I definitely would want that on board - guess I should have mentioned that. I have no problem with DFI Lanparty boards but I spent some time in the DFI forums about 6 months ago and I don't think anything could be more temperamental than...
