Do you already have those components? There are better cards than the 8800GTX around now.
Do you want a motherboard that support SLI or would you be fine using one without it?

Those are my current specs, but while i'm at it, i have my old Graphics Card (8500GT) So is it possible and a good idea to run SLi with the 8800GTX and 8500GT? If not, no, i'm not gunna use sli.

And 2x 8500's wouldn't even match the single 8800GTX.
Gigabyte P35 DS3R would do fine but others are available that have newer chipsets.
