The thing is, in the near future games will start using the full 8GB of RAM, then 16GB of RAM will be helpful. 32GB of RAM won't be needed just for gaming just yet, and I'm not sure whether it will be needed for the next 6-7 years (if not more).

No, you won't have any problems playing games. One thing that I might say that 32GB of ram is a HUGE overkill if all thet you'll be doing is gaming. Also, will you play games on more than 1 monitor? If no then why do you have a 4GB GPU?

I'm not sure what i'll be doing for gaming yet. I have no knowledge of multi-panel gaming. Sounds like it could be fun though. Really, I just wanted to be able to build a PC and not touch it for 5+ years and not worry about upgrading it every year. I'll do some heavy gaming now and again, use it as an HTPC for 20GB+ Blu ray rips, and who knows what else! Last time I built a computer was when the Q6700 quad core was the best thing out there. So I have a lot of catching up to do in the way of learning.
