Like the idea of doing Quad crossfireX (2x 6990s) but the equivelant Nvidias seem to be better value even if hash processing falls so I am on the fence here.

nvidia is out of the question if you're going to have it as a part time mining rig. with the current difficulty and profit, don't bother mining if you decide to go with nvidia. and as a gaming rig, quad crossfire doesn't scale as well. seems like money isn't an issue, so i would just get a single 6990 or 2x 6970.

32gb of memory is just absurd. what programs will you be running? unless you'll be doing a lot of VM stuff, 32gb of system memory is way overkill, and it will probably throw off system stability.
