For videocards, I'd get 2 7900 GT or GTX cards, unless you're going for super high-end and want the 8800-series cards. Honestly though, that'd be a waste of money since there's not really a whole lot out there that would take advantage of two of them.

For a PSU, Seasonic makes good ones, maybe pick up the 600w S12 if you're running two videocards.

CPU...possibly an Opteron 165 or 170. It's dualcore, you can easily overclock, and there've been a lot of deals on them lately. You could also pick up an x2 for pretty cheap.
