Dont get an SLi motherboard unless you intend to use 2 nvidia cards... not only that but ditch the 512 mb ddr2 x1600 pro... buy a 256mb Graphics chip that has gddr3 instead, preferably nvidia if you want to keep the SLi mobo
 
If you wait for OcUK to get the GDDR3 versions of the new 7300GT then that'll be your best bet, should cost about £60, and if you choose to SLi them later on, it'll be faster than a single 7900GT once they're overclocked!
 
i need to order tonite

Conroe will be quicker if you wait for it. Bit more because Wireless keyboard and mouse plus i think you need a 580v PSU for an 1800 .. mentioned in sticky here

PREPARE YOUR SYSTEM

Its not uncommon these days to require a good quality PSU (Power Supply Unit) . To achieve maximum compatability it is recommended to have atleast a quality 350+ Watt PSU. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=121317

My personal findings show that the Enermax 350w+, Antec TrueBlue 480w, Hiper Type R 580w all work without problems on anything less than an X1800XT . For an X1800XT or X1900XT(X) GPU i would recommend a minimum of 580w

Didn't check what http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp said tho
