Upgrade Mac Pro Set up

[Chrisg2014]

I'm bought a Mac Pro, I got a Core-8 modle, right now it has

1Tb HDD
6Gb of RAM
Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” processors
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5​

So basicly the base modle of the Core-8

I want to upgrade a lot of it when I get the money. The Storage, I really want a SSD and just have that be the start up disc so thats where Lion OS X is going to live with all my applications and then have my Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures and what ever else that is not an App have on a HDD as a home base for them.​

The second thing I want to do is upgrade the Ram, I want really badly 32Gb of RAM, I was going to have apple put that in but I thought I could probably get it 10x cheaper somewhere else. Can you leave a link of a place that has cheap ram and you can personally say it works great.​

The last thing I want to do is I want to get a second Graphics Card, now the question if I get an ATI Radeon HD 5870 Graphics, will it matter that I have two different kinds of cards or no? Should I get the same card? Should I upgrade both? Is it going to make a differents? I'm editing videos on this computer so...I'll be using Final Cut Pro X and Motions and some other stuff.​

Thanks Guys and Gals for your help!

Excuse my ignorance, why do you want two graphic cards? How many displays are you driving?

The Mac Pro only has 2 of the 6pin power connectors for video cards. This can limit your options. Another 5770 will work fine, as it only requires 1 power connector, but the 5870 requires 2, so you would need an external power source for that card.
