My friend is wanting a new system, I couldn't convince him to go Intel due to the price premium and lack of decent SLi Motherboards.

Anywa here it is, oppinions welcome.

MSI K9N SLI Platinum
(2x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800) CAS 4-4-4-12
Antec 900 - Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer Case
640MB XFX 8800GTS
AMD AM2 Athlon 64 6000+ Dual Core 3.0GHz, 2x 1MB Cache
500 Gb Western Digital WD5000AAKS
620W Corsair HX Series Modular SLi PSU
SATA LG 18x dl dvd rw

Comes to about £737.
 
wasting your money on AMD at present - Intel is the only way to go and why does he need an SLI motherboard as the GTS will be more than plently.

He wants to future proof, maybe buy another 8800GTS in 6 months time.
