You don't need 16 GB for sure. I play games on full blast with 4 GB, so 8 should be plenty.
SLI = duel vid cards. Most are "SLI Enabled" -- doesn't mean you actually need 2, though.
If you do SSD, just get 1 small SSD and one regular drive. Regular one for the bulk of your content, SSD for your games (and maybe FRAPS). Not sure about putting Windows on the SSD -- probably not necessary. I think the point is to be able to load the game textures fast. It's pretty optional anyway. If you're loading 500 GB of music, pictures and movies on your SSD, yer doin it wrong.
