You getting 6 GB Ram because it is DDR3, so you get 3 sticks to get the full effect. So it is either 3, 6 or 12. 3 is definitively to little, 12 is way more then you need, so 6 GB is good.

I agree with Clone, ditch the GTX 295 for a GTX 260, and get some extra HDs instead.
9 is also a possibility. :P And no, you getting 3 sticks has nothing to do with the RAM being DDR3. It is simply an option on the motherboard. There's plenty DDR3 boards who only takes upto 4 sticks instead of 6.
Well I guess I learn something new everyday (about the DDR3), however I wonder what kind of configuration would you get for 9 GB? Do they make 3 GB Sticks?? because 4+4+1 doesn't make a whole lot of sense ...
