Two crud video cards in SLI is worse and more expensive than one good card. Really.

Try AMD. They have the best value for mainstream graphics cards. Um, one HD2600 XT $129? Most games don't take advantage of SLI and 7300 will not give good frame rates at all. It also has a complete video decode pathway which helps in video playback.

The CPU is OK, perhaps even overkill. 5000+?

I find "gaming mice" and "gaming keyboards" no different from the cheap versions.

You can get a much cheaper motherboard than that. $100 even. Just has to be Socket AM2 and 1 PCI-Express port. You don't need SLI/CrossFire for 1 card.

You do NOT need a 600W power supply. 2600 XT is very power efficient so 400W would do.

Have you thought about the OS? Vista? XP? Linux? For performance and price XP Home is the best option.

I mean it about the graphics card though: two of last generation's worst cards is completely inferior to one of this generation's midrange cards for the same price.
Um, What about RAM? 2GB DDR2-667 should do.
