Do you need 4 PCI 2.0 x16 slots, or just 1 or two? If getting one, get this board:

If you need two, get this board:

750w PSU for two video cards is plenty, and 650w for one video card. The brand you chose is good, though.

Some options:

Good RAM. Didn't give much info on yours so if its cheaper, go with these:

Might use the cash saved on motherboard/psu/RAM on a better video card, like a 560ti or 6950.

And I would recommend this case over that one:

Not trying to sound like an intel fanboy here but the new FX CPU's haven't been the best of the best lately, I'd go for a Phenom II 955 or 960T.

Or if you like go with an intel i5 2500k and get a 100 dollar Z68 motherboard.
