Save $52 after shipping and rebates by getting a 650TX PSU instead of that Thermaltake:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] &Tpk=650tx

I'd get an AMD HD 4850 instead of the 9800GTX+, it's usually cheaper and just a bit faster. Either way, it will be a MASSIVE upgrade from 8600GT.

CD/DVD drives: you only need one that does it all. This SH-S223F is good, and only $26 with free shipping:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] k=SH-S223F

Good MB, RAM and case.

CPU: your MB supports Phenom quads, just not all of them. Check the reviews or contact Gigabyte support to see what works with it. Apparently even the 9850 works, if you get the F4 BIOS.

Yeah, absolutely. The 650TX already supports HD 4850 Crossfire. If you spend $10 more and get the 750TX it would be even better. As for the motherboard, I particularly like the K9A2 Platinum because it's able to do Crossfire at full 16x+16x, for only $150 or so. A comparable MB in the Intel world would be around $225 (GA-X48-DS4 or Asus P5E X48).
