anything not work together etc.? lmk if i should make any changes(budget is 900$ CAD)
 
Some of the stuff above is not compatable such as ram and for the same price you can get newer gen stuff. What is your budget and we'll put something together for ya.
 
7600GS's X 2 wouldn't make economical sense either. I'm pretty sure a 7900gt would be faster.
 
yeah, i'd got with a single faster card and then you can upgrade to SLI later.

also, go with AM2 if you're building a new system from the ground up.
 
SLI really doesn't make sense with those cards.
You can pick up a x1900xt 256MB or 7900gt 256MB ~$250
or the x1900gt for ~$200
or the 7600gt for under $150

You don't need a $200 mobo..... $100 will do fine. Use that $100 towards a CPU.
AMD AM2 x2 3800+ ~$150, x2 4200+ ~$185
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe ~$185, Duo E6400 Conroe ~$230

Also, you really should invest in a good power supply. It really does help when overclocking and for a stable, long lasting system.

the ram isnt compatible you say?
 
Socket 939 motherboards are only compatible with DDR ram, not DDR2 ram.
