Few comments...

1) You do know you could go to a DDR2 1066 Mhz Ram right?
2) Why are you getting two different graphics cards? If you want the best bang here, always go with identical graphics cards that you can then SLI together. (So identical 9600 GT).

3) Make sure you have very good cooling in this system. The phenom can't get a bit hot even with a stock fan, plus dual high end cards will be generating some good heat.

Then as pointed out about the Windows 64 and you are good to go. Do keep in mind that the software industry is still trying to catch up on the multi-core applications, so you won't be fully tapping a quad cores power just yet. Of course that is quickly changing, so you are ahead of the curve on that.
