I'm tweaking my New Rig plan/design. I've penciled in a Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost), and a GTX 580 or the newest GTX590 (Dual) card.

Any thoughts/advice?

It was mentioned in an earlier post that Windows 7/32bit will only access 3.6GB of RAM. Is that correct?
I have been thinking of going with Windows 7/64bit, with CORSAIR DOMINATOR 8GB (2 x 4GB) or G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB). [All I've read agrees that more than 8GB is a total waste]
My question now is: Will Windows7/64Bit access all of that 8GB RAM?
