You got a quite alot, so buy two 7900 GT/GTX's, a AMD Dual core, and a decent mobo that will fit it all. You'll also want a large PSU for the two SLI'ed cards.

I bought this one, hasnt let me down yet, and is really stable with overclocks.

Go for an AM2 board, as it is AMD's future socket.
This is basically the next version of my motherboard, and I've had no problems with mine, MSI are good :)
