Triple channel is no longer needed or recommended these dayas.

What case will you be using?
What's the likelihood of you being able to buy parts today?

I ask because there's an extremly good PSU that you should get in on as soon as you read this:
$90 - Seasonic X650 Gold 650W Modular PSU

Simply put, it's one of the best bang for the buck PSU deals out now.
 
Still waiting for an answer to my other two questions.
 
Thanks man, appreciate the help. picked everything up today, will be good times shortly :)
