Which Motherboard, PSU and HardDrive?

[UPS]

Currently doing my aviation piloting classes and I need something to run Flight Simulator X, well not only that , plenty other game out there that I want to play and that my P4 2.8/ATI9800pro128mb/512mb DDR400mhz can't do lol.
_________________________________________________________________________

Here are the parts that I am about sure I'll be getting:

CPU:Intel Q6600 2.4
GPU:2x 8800GT
Memory: 2gig Corsair ddr2 1066mhz dominator
Case: Probably will be a Antec P182
_________________________________________________________________________
Here are the parts that I am not sure yet:

PSU: Corsair 520hx or the 620hx, Don't know about the power to use for the setup.

Motherboard: Don't know which one to get for the SLi setup and for the 2.0 PCI-E of the 8800GT. I will also be overclocking so I want something to be overcloacking friendly and want something that can take penryn and DDR3 memory later on.

HardDrive: Does speed counts here? Because if I can cut price here I will. I only need 250-300Gig.

So what you guys think about this setup and what you'd use for a motherboard, Hard drive and PSU?

Thanks for the help!

Just saw that the Nvidia 780i motherboard was comming out in november. It doesnt support DDR3 but anyways with the prices that high I don't think I'll be getting that type of memory before a year or two.

780i good or not?

I haven't taken time to read up on the latest and greatest motherboards and chipsets, so I don't really have a suggestion on one. But after a really brief look on Newegg, I didn't see many options to choose from, that offered SLI with support of DDR2 & 3. Although I've never had an SLI setup, I would urge you to stay away from it. A single GT should hanlde any game currently out. From past SLI benchmarks I've read, there is no performance gain worthy of the extra money. A single GT should be plenty, and it will use less power, and you'd have more money for other parts. And your motherboard options might open up more if you stay away from SLI.

Either of those PSU's should do fine. The 520 version is supposed to handle SLI 8800GTS's no problem, but I would go with the 620 for SLI, just for peace of mind I guess.

As for a HDD, this one should be just fine... Seagate

Or any SATA 3.0Gb/s. I would go with Seagate or Western Digital.

Thats my 2 cents
