A Few questions:

1. Would the fact that my mobo is LG775 socket and my CPU is 775 socket mean they dont work?

2. Is my grahics Card gunna work with SLI (if i got another SLI card later on?)

3. My screen is not DVI, with it connect to my grahics card ok?

4.Will the whole system work together if i bought just the above and such em together? (excluding OS which would be winxp media centre ed)

5. Will this run window media centre ed, (tv card to come later)

Thanks

Socket 775 is LGA775 - Land Grid Array 775. They will work together fine.

Yes. It won't be the quietest card out there (search passive cooling for quieter options), but in terms of performance and SLI upgradability, it will work.
