For Intel and SLI, the only way to go is the 680i chipset on the Asus P5N32E-SLI motherboard. I don't want to rain on your parade, but two 7600GS cards won't really blow you away. You get more bang for the buck with one higher end card.

now I can get out of having two CHAINTECH VGA512C-SE76GS GeForce 7600GS Video Card but I will have to keep one of them, so what Video Card with SLI do you recommend besides the GeForce 7600GS then. (try to keep it in the range of 100-200$) or can i even do that with two different cards

Nope, SLI requires two cards with equivalent GPUs. So you can't mix a 7600GS and a 7600GT. Personally, I would use the one card for awhile and save up for a more powerful card to upgrade to later. The 7600GS is a fine card.

Either get a 680i motherboard, which I wouldn't suggest, or get a decent intel chipset motherboard and upgrade the 7600gs when need be. Asus P5B is a good choice for this.
