I need the best OS and i'm really not sure about Win 7
-
Fact: Windows 7 x64 is far more supported than XP x64.

My nvidia gpu (a lowly quadro FX 570m) is better supported under 7 than it was under Vista even with the
"pre-release WDDM 1.1" driver installed by W7, in the sense that it just works better. My 3d gaming performance is significantly improved.

While 16 is a nice number, it's not exactly divisible by 3 thus ruining the triple channel RAM setup. So, I would personally recommend staying with 12.

If I have any serious work to do .. I’m staying with XP as long as I can.
The inability to have Icons on my desktop, Customize my R Click context menus or make new taskbars …
Makes W7 a major pain to work in .. When working with Images.
If you haven’t been spoiled with these missing XP tools .. Then go for W7

Another 1~5 posts short-time member dislikes Windows 7. 
If I dislike a stranger, I won't tell him. I just go away.

Somebody suggesting going with 16GB of RAM instead earlier. However, with Core i7's and triple channel support, I'm understanding that you want to install 3 sticks of RAM at a time. So, the typical installed quantities are usually
3 x 2GB = 6GB
3 x 4GB = 12GB
3 x 8GB = 24GB

I prefer to be told then I can care less about the person doing the telling

It would appear to me that all of the hardware you listed was designed for 64bit. Win 7 is is best 64bit PC OS available.
End of discussion.
