Today, I was meant to order my parts from OCUK but unfortunately I didn't (***** Bills)

I know I have posted a few threads on what to get etc. but hopefully this should be the last one.

As always I have questions

So this is my Motherboard - http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/pegatron-2a99-specs-corporation-3282011h25/ - How many Graphic cards can I rock out with this Mobo?

If I can get two on, I shall be using 2 of thesis - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-028-KF

Along with this PSU - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-063-OC
RAM - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-118-GL
 
My current computer specifications
Motherboard - http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/pegatron-2a99-specs-corporation-3282011h25/
CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 220
GPU - Integrated graphics (GeForce 6150)
PSU - 300 W
Memory - 3GB DDR3 Duel channel

The problem is, is that I have only £160 to upgrade my computer for gaming in low/medium detail.
Grab a:
2nd hand Phenom II X4: around £50
2nd hand 5870: £70-£80
New PSU (if it would fit the case): £30

New psu - £30 (OCZ CoreXstream 500w)
HD6850 used - £55 (based on members market and a popular auction site)
Phenom 2 x4 - £50 (based on members market and a popular auction site)
New motherboard definitely if possible, look for used AM3 boards of a decent brand (Asus, gigabyte, msi, etc)
And another swap out the 1gb stick of ram with a 2gb stick that matches the original 2gb stick.

Then you will have a nice well rounded system for at or a smidge over £160
