Which parts did you already buy? The video card, hard drive, DVD burner, power supply, case and OS? Or just the video card and the OS?

Do you intend to do SLi in the future? If you are then make sure you get a SLi certified power supply that can handle the two cards you intend to use. I don't think that Thermaltake power supply is listed as a certified PSU for SLi...the only 500 watt Thermaltake is the PurePower 500 watt.

Personally, I wouldn't do SLi unless I could go with at least two 8800GTs minimum and the appropriate power supply. One 8800GT would outperform two 8600GTs in SLi.

And I would use a motherboard with a Intel chipset for best compatibility, stability and performance.
