Evga Nforce 680I Sli LGA775 Conroe Atx DDR2 2PCI-E16 2PCI SATA2 Sound Gblan 1394 Motherboard (122-CK-NF63-TR)

BFG GeForce 8800GTX OC 600MHZ 768MB 1.8GHZ GDDR3 Dual DVI-I HDTV Out HDCP DIRECTX10 Video Card
Silverstone Zeus ST75ZF 750W ATX12V 20/24PIN Power Supply W/80MM Fan Active PFC Quad SLI Certified

It's been a real long time since I've built a new system - over 6 years now - and it's been a while since I've really took a good hard look at harware. So please, let me know if you see anything obviously wrong, things I should be cuatious about or whatever I seem to be missing.
A few specific questions:
Will I be able to run 4 GB of ram in this setup?
Will I be able to put a quad core CPU in that motherboard sometime down the road?
Budget isn't too much of an issue. I'm not going for an insane extreme gamer's rig, just something that relatively powerful.
The hardware listed totals in at $1,822.62 CAD. Less than 2k after tax, insurance and whatever else.
