$175 for athlon is a horrible deal. You can get a far better performing q6600 (2.4ghz stock, reliably oc to 3.6ghz) for $199.99:

P45 motherboard, highest overclocking performance of all chipsets (tie with x38/48) for $99.99:

$175 is far too much for that case, there are better airflow cases for less. Save the money on internal components that add to performance. $160 for 650 watt psu is high, there are 850watt psus available for around $120, or get 550watt units, which is enough, for less than $100. 2gb of ram isn't enough, get 4. Crysis hogs 2+gb alone, Vista use 1+gb, and most other new games use at least 1+gb. Spend $30-40 on a high performance cpu cooler. Save rest for graphics card.

Did you even look at the $99.99 motherboard I linked? It use PCIE2.0, just no crossfire, so you can only use one graphics card.

Edit: Ah, I see newegg doesn't list PCIE2.0 there. Nevertheless, p45 boards use it. You can see it here on another retail that does list PCIE2.0 as part of its specs
