Advice needed from DSC4ME and/or Max

This is number 528321.  Mindful of what both of you told me given my user patterns (a bit less than 25% gaming, the rest HD video manipulation with premiere pro cs5 and some Photoshop work with still images) that I would probably never need SLI, I have selected a single overclocked GTX 580. 

Questions:

1.) Should I just forget it, wait 5 months, and buy the X79 with an appropriate motherboard?  And maybe, just maybe, by that time Intel will finally support TRIM on its SSD's, so that I could skip the VelociRaptors, and just set up three 250GB Intel 510's in a raid 5 as I would really like to do?

2.) If I decide not to wait, what level of overclocking the CPU makes sense for all practical purposes?  The ASUS P8P67 Deluxe will let me go to Stage 2 overclocking, while the Rampage will let me go to Stage 3.  Should I care?

3.) I would assume that choosing 16GB of memory at 1600MHz beats 8GB of memory at 2000MHz?

4.)I have seen various postings by you, DSC4ME, recommending Corsair 1000W PSU over the DS version.  Why?

5.)If there is no relief from Intel for TRIM support for the 510's, can I add a third 600MB VeloviRaptor and configure it in a raid 5 array for data behind the SSD for OS and Programs? DS does not have a way to do this on the Configurator. I could simply add an external backup drive with a backup schedule, and go with two VelociRaptors in raid 0, but I don't want to have to do that.

6. Back to video cards: if I use the overclocked version of the GTX 580, do I have to liquid cool it? And otherwise, if I decide to do a dual card (just in case I want to increase gaming) will I suffer an experiential   disadvantage for my other activities in dropping back to the dual overclocked 570's? I do not want to do this new computer thing for a number of years -- the transition from one to another is just too painful. So I will spend the money now for the future if necessary. I would even go up to dual overclocked 580's if it looks like a good idea.

7. As far as fee boosting is concerned, what is the reason that you are advising against booting the video card and tweaking the OS?

Sorry about the size of this laundry list of questions, but you two have been so very helpful so far that I was hoping that you would help me.
