OCZ Platinum DDR 3 10666 or GSkill 10666

Gigabyte P55 UD3R
Totally forget xfire/SLI on a p55 set up just get yourself a decent card like a ASUS 4890 or if you can afford get a 5850, if you seriously want xfire on P55 save up for a Gigabyte UD7 so that you get the full 16x + 16x , it has an extra gfx chip onboard giving you full xfire but it wont be cheap
Samsung 1TB F3 very low price atm
With i5 you need to get yourself a good cooler, youll need to check that out yourself because there has been a dismal choice of skt 1156 coolers up until recently so you need to look for yourself, i use a Noctua U12P which is excellent but again it was expensive.

It is kinda contradictory to ask for i5 / dual video card setup and low budget at the same time ^^!

GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD4
@139.99 does SLI/CF at 8x+8x, but it is unlikely you will get two video cards that tops that. It is a mini board tho, for low costs right?

Intel Core i5-750 2.66GHz
@ 200.00

get any ram you want, higher rate ones if you plan to overclock

wiinippongamer is right that, at the $200 CPU range (for i5), AMD is a better choice.

Of course, you will need to clarify what you are using the PC for the the best trade-off.
