16 GB isn't necessary if you're not doing heavy video editing and/or CAD. Even then, 8 GB would be fine to get you by. Plus, AlfieGroove said in the title that he/she's looking to do heavy gaming, and not what I mentioned from the looks of it.
If your not going to SLI in the future then get this power supply instead [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/450w-xfx-pro-core-edition-p1-450s-u2b9-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-fan-atx-v231-psu[/url]
