1. Will everything work together? Mainly I am worried that I am too ignorant about power supplies and may need something different. I have no idea what rails are, nor what I would need.

2. Which item is my bottleneck, if any?

3. Do I need faster RAM?

4. Will I need any additional tools to put this together? I put a computer together with help, 3 years ago. I know to use an anti static strap when installing the CPU. That is about the extent of my "advanced knowledge".

5. Any case accessory recommendations?

Thanks much.

I forgot to mention I will be using two(updated now) of those video cards. Is my setup still sufficient? PSU, case, MB?

Also the MB is out of stock(or so they say for the combo deal). Could you suggest a reliable replacement with a usb 3.0 header?

Thank you for your quick, helpful reply.

Also, why do you suggest that RAM? Stat wise, they look identical. The G Skill RAM I have has more positive(5 egg) reviews.

Thanks

Components and specs, those Vengeance can do 8-8-8-24-1T at 1.65V without problems, even, 7-7-7-21.
