You wasted money buying Dominator Platinums.  Also, power supply is overkill even if you wanted to move to a SLI setup.

 

Like the case.  The two chamber design is great for upping space efficiency.

You buy dominator platinum for the look, not the price/performance. They are the best looking ram in existence, and people buy it because of that. Don't be too critical :D it's a powerful build.
