I think that board has a PCI-E 8x slot, well 2 as it's SLI, but the card your after needs a x16 slot?
Im no PCI-E expert as im still on AGP, but that caught my eye.
 
Looks good. I have that Hard Drive, and it is quiet and wiked fast. Also I have the modular version of that PSU, and it is nice and quiet.

Let us know how you get on with that Abit motherboard, it is supposed to be good but it is relatively new. Post some pics if you have the time/inclination :D .

Use a Tuniq Tower (on special) or a Scythe Ninja to cool that CPU.
 
I'm just going to go for the ocuk value card. The EVGA is a lot more money for not a lot of gain, and I couldn't find anywhere else with the BFG in stock.
 
The card you want = Note: These cards require PCI-E x16 slots, they will not function in a x8 slot so for SLi you need dual x16 mainboard.

The Motherboard you have spec'd = NVIDIA SLI Technology (2x8)

Please check this before you click buy. Would hate you to buy a 3D card that your MB does'nt support.

Actualy Abit's website say's that board is actualy 2x16 so it's fine. Seems OcUK has a wrong description up.
Thought it a little strange a newly released board would only have 2x8 slots.

Yeah. All the guys in the graphics section said the same thing. I've added the Gainward 8800gts 640mb with that rig now. I'm not really much of an overclocker so I might stick to the cooler that comes with the E6600 (oh, change the e6300 to that after heavy negotiations with the missus)
 
Would go for this memory instead:

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)

or

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC)

A few points

(a) With the power of modern graphics cards, there isn't much need for SLi/crossfire.
(b) It will only be 2 x 8 if you put two cards in, otherwise that first slot is 16x
(c) 2 x 8 has virtually zero impact on 8800 GTX cards as compared with 2 x 16.
