you want 64bit for more than 4gb RAM. and unless you're waiting for ivy bridge it's 2500k/2600k, sandy bridge, not 2700k ivy bridge.

Uh yes.. ?

and
"hd6990 crossfireX (what is this)" they call that a gfx card

32 gigs of ram on windows 32 bit, will only make you upset when you see just 2 gigs showing useable, you'll need win 64 to use any amount of ram over 2 gigs, arguably 3 gigs, but definitely for the amount you are proposing. You can run wow max settings with a video card several iterations less powerful, so the 6990 is very much overkill, the processor is also overkill but if you have the cash go for it, go ahead and get a massive monitor/tv while at it if feasible, you'll really feel the difference in your gaming experience if you don't have one already

You won't need more than one HD6990. You can't use three, only two at most.
You don't want 32-bit Windows when you can get 64bit, so you can actually use the RAM.
And an i5-2500K is good enough for gaming. If all you do is game, the i7-3960x won't give you any benefit compared to the i5-2500K.

Like these forums aren't for trolling, and that no attempts should be made :P

No, you're going to be stuck at 59 FPS with that setup.
Thinking that 3 weak GPU's of 600 dollar each lets this game run make you look like a fool.
You're also better of using w Vista 32 bit, it's more powerful.
