1) Get DDR2 800 ram, instead of DDR2 667.
2) I would suggest you get a 7600GS instead of a 6800XT
3) You should get a better PSU, that one doesn't look so good.
4) are you sure you want to get a micro atx motherboard? They're small and dont have as many expansion slots and such.
 
You do know that the 6800XT has about the same performance as the 6600GT sometimes even worse. You'd be better of with a 7600GS or GT.
 
Well I made a new build with the feautres above and added the 7600 GT. It came out to 730$.

I was thinking getting a SLI mobo and getting dual 6800's as that would only be 703$.
 
It isn't the wattage that isn't enough, it's the amperage of the +12V rail. It should preferably be over 30A all in all. Look for some good Antec PSU's for example. It's no use going for a cheap PSU cause the risk is that it's gonna fry and take the whole system with it.

I would suggest you stay with the 7600GT, as if you want to go SLI then you really need a better PSU. Plus, as your rig is more on the budget end, i wouldn't suggest going SLI.
 
Ok here is my final build

Looks good, I would probally go with since the second PSU, considering it has Dual +12V.
