Gaming comp, first build - help nedeed

MY first post here Ok so I want to build a decent gaming computer. Budget is 600$ and here's what I've got so far. Suggestions please

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131367
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103300
Graphics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130435
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104098
PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182032
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103021
Hard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136098
Burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151175

Total 598$ with shipping. Comments/ suggestions please. I want to buy another 9800gt in future and to SLI it with this one. Will this PSU be enough for that? And what is the difference in performance between 800 DDR2 and 1066 DDR2 RAM? Thanks!

I suggest going for better CPU, Cheaper Mobo.

Phemon II x 3 720 BE + GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3
or E7400 + ASUS P5Q SE

DVD burner: Get SATA version

PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W as it is free shipping & $50 after MIR

I don't know if it is worth to try SLi at a low end CPU and the mobo only allow SLi at x8 speed.
If you really want to run SLi, will it be better to get E5200 + 750i chipset Mobo?
I know E5200 overclock quite good, I am not sure about AMD X2 7750 Kuma

Ok how 'bout this:

Motherboardhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130136
CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103472

The rest is the same[I've added the SATA burner as u suggested]Price is now 612$ ...this motherboard can run 2 crossfire in 16x16 and Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz is way stronger than AMD X2 Kuma @ 2.7 GHz. And I still have a question is there a huge difference in performance between 800 and 1066 MHz DDR2 RAM?
Thanks a lot!

That psu is also weak for that card. The gpu alone requires a "Minimum power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amps". That psu has two 12+ rails with 19Amps each. That leaves 12Amps to run your cpu, hard drives, and the
rest of your system. More watts doesn't always mean a better psu.

Here's an 80Amp, 530 watt psu in the same price range.

Also, that board does not support Phenom 2 cpu's. You could chose from these:
