system 2

by selling system 2 i gain approximately 160$ (at best 200$) compared to selling system 1. now some of you are thinking.... whoah there, you need to recrunch the numbers... well i have to buy a SAS controller and cables for my 2x 15k cheetahs, whereas the p6t deluxe has it built onboard.
what do you think? is it worth 160$ for ddr3, 2 extra gigs of ram (that i dont need) and a faster CPU?
future wise, the x4 proc can migrate into bulldozer, but ddr3 can go anywhere next gen, but theres a huge downside. It seems that everyone is going with quad channel ram. to which makes me feel that tripple channel ram was just a fling with intel.
Both systems will be OCed, the most intensive task that i will be doing in the near future is compiling code for a C class. Gaming is the day to day norm.
Let me know your reasoning, id love to hear your opinion and help me make the right decision
