2x8GB Corsair Vengeance were hard for me to find and $$$

Edit : found them on ldlc.com for €110 (LDLC = French equivalent of Newegg)

I built a very similar system(should be in signature below) and it's simply awesome. Easiest install I've ever done. The only thing I haven't taken the time to get working is sleep. Everything else just worked with minimal effort.

Woa woa woa woa woa ! Wait, so sleep isn't working ??? If so then I'm not so sure about Ivy bridge.

I'm pretty sure there is a way to get sleep working. Mine just didn't work out of the box and I personally don't use it so I haven't taken the time to look into it yet. When I use sleep my screen goes black but computer stays running, no matter what I do screen doesn't come back. (Have to reset computer)

Ok. Fair enough. How easy is the GTX 5xx to setup in ML ? And how can I enable CUDA in Adobe CS5.5 ? Or Do i have to buy CS6 ?
