New System, Memory Questions

[brettbattles]

I am going to build my first computer to be used for gaming, and software and web development. Here are the parts that I have chosen so far, and want to get some feedback about.

I am particularly concerned with the memory and chipset/mobo combination because of some posts that I read somewhere (maybe on newegg's reviews). I want the memory to be able to run in dual channel mode, and was concerned about the compatability.

Feedback on the memory issue as well as others would be greatly appreciated.

You won't have any problems with the dual channel as long as you have the 2 sticks of ram in the correct 2 slots that enable dual channel.If you're planning on overclocking,you might want to consider some faster memory than the 2700.
