SLI'ing is only ineffective on Intel-chipped motherboards. The motherboard you have actually has twice the FSB bandwidth specifically for SLI'ing cards.
Ram is also a big issue, next time you go shopping look for something that is SLI-ready. Getting SLi RAM means you get the EPP memory banks, which has proven to have a much higher clocking with cooler temps, and more stability than standard non-SLi RAM. The Nvidia chipsets also auto-overclock it a pretty decent clock rate so it will be an advantage if you don't normally overclock your stuff.
other than that The ram you got will be fine, as the other ram would have been the bottleneck in a quad-280 system.
