My Specs now are

AMD Athlon 3500+, 939 Dual Sata II mobo, 2x 512 Corsair VS, Nvidia 6600GT DDR3, 450w PSU...

All taht is gonna be gone..AMD Athlon X2 5200+ 2.6ghz AM2, 2 more corsair VS 512's..And an Evga 8800GTS 320mb card...

I am wondering what kind of motherboard I should get (has to be sli for future spendings) and what size of PSU(again...must be sli fit)..

Any suggestions?

I suggest you wait until the 9800 series in december. That's what I am doing. Ima snag me a 9800GTX and run Crysis like a beast and other dx 10 games very good too. And to be honest, the 8800 series of cards aren't that impressive on dx9 games, even yet....dx10 games. Just wait for the 9800's

Yeah, get an X1950pro or X1950XT or 7900GS instead. These cards are great for current games and maybe even future games like Bioshock etc.

Yea man just get a 7900GS or 1950pro since they are cheap as dirt, I know one thing a 9800GTX is going to cost a arm and a half a leg.

The 9800s aren't even confirmed yet. It is ridiculous to believe these will come out this year, don't wait for one of these cards that don't even officially exist yet.
