2000 dollar budget for first system build, any suggestions?

[the collector]

this is going to be my first build. im including every piece just for the hell of it. im buying from newegg.com. i am posting to get suggestions on solid video card(s) and suggestions on my current parts. i dont know if i will overclock since this is my first build and i dont really understand how to do it yet, thats why i prefer an overclocked gtx 260 for a video card. i prefer evga but i like this msi card i listed below because of the price, im thinking about getting two in sli. im not bent on any one company for products, i just want something thats consIdered a good product. im pretty up to date with whats out there as far as video cards and cpus go, but i am definitely an amateur. help is appreciated. thank you in advance.

im leaving out the video card because im still unsure what i want to do. im leaning towards two msi ocv4 gtx 260s. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127430
