The difference in the RAM for movies, etc. is negligable. That PSU will more than do it. I think many need an 8pin and a 6pin power connector or 2 8s?? That PSU has 2 6s and 2 8s, so you'll be fine. I think anything above 700w will run that system.

No you won't notice a difference it will be negligible at best. You might want to consider getting the 1600 kit because the R2E has problems with the 1866 kit which should be fixed in the future with bios updates.

I have heard from some users that the Corsair CMPSU-1000HX PSU can easily run a system with 2x GTX 295's with power to spare. The SilverStone DA1000 is also a good choice for a 1000w PSU.
I would have to recommend the SilverStone ST85F or the SilverStone DA850 for an 850w modular PSU. The first one has 2x +12V rails with 35A on each and the other has 1x +12V rail with 70A.
