The good thing about the 64 bit is, that it can address more than 4GB RAM (32 bit), and therefore, programs with 64 bit will run better (Home Premium supports up to 16GB. Pro, Enterprise and Ultimate even 192GB RAMThat was my main reason, thanks for clearing it up for me!).
There's absolutely no drawback in using 32 bit programs on a 64 bit OS. And since you'll have 16GB RAM, it'd be just stupid to run a 32 bit OS.
Here's the updated build, added the SSD and got the OEM version of Win7.

Nice. And your build just got 37$ cheaper with a SSD for free.

Just remembered the main point of this topic was to look for bottlenecks. If nobody can think of any then I'm finalizing my choices (And adding a couple 140mm case fans to deal with the 7950's heat).
RE: First DIY Build - Govedo13 - 10-04-2013
I see no bottlenecks. The build looks complete.
This case should have some fans coming in bundle. I wont buy extra fans before checking the temps.
Note that the Sapphire in your build comes with relative quiet 2 Fan cooler idles around 30-35° I have the same cooler on my 7870XT, it is the same card actually but yours is with more ram- it is quiet and good card. You can download Sapphire Trixx tool and manually control the vents via temp graph- really useful tool.
If you are full silence junkie then you need to invest another 120$ in fans.
About the OEM W7- it is not true that it wont work with other board.
You can manually install and add all kind of drivers. Just the selected drivers delivered in the package are less then the standard versions. In general W7 does for you the driver thing on the Enterprise and Pro versions that I used at least.
Also put this ram:

a bit faster and only a few $ more.

That said I need to see if my RAM is compatable with my motherboard now, but I have a guy for that.

Seems I linked the wrong thing,there were few 16 GB combos at 1866 for around 110-120$
Also here is the memory support list:
