32 Bit and 4GB don't mix. If you want your PC to utilize all that RAM you should get a 64BIT OS. I also don't recommend you have that much hard drives. It's Power consuming, space consuming, and money consuming. Two TB hard drives should be good. Also, I personally don't find an ATI/Intel mix very smart. Though Intel has a very good line up of Proccesors, if you want to take advantage of things like AMD Overdrive you should do an ATI/AMD Mix. At least you'd have all the benefits of it, since they are of course working together.

 

P.S: With that kind of setup. Your PSU is not recommended. You should burn well over 800W under load with it.
