I would go with a ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

and a ASUS EAH4870/HTDI/512M/A Radeon HD 4870 512MB(you can always crossfire later but this should provide about equal performance of your SLI setup)

and the ram I would recomend is G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Chan

The Antec 900 is a pretty good case but I would recommend you also look into the XCLIO A380PLUS-BK

Btw, did you have a budget in mind?

kind a want to keep it 1400ish with monitor
and col p todd that PSU is nice will it handle dual 9800gts
cause im a big fan of the geforce kinda want to stay with that in SLI

what about the coolermaster hyper 212 that looks nice with the blue/black motiff im going for what you think? will it fit my choice of mobo in the antec 900?

also why do u think the p5q pro is better than the p5n-t deluxe?
