Why don't you go to a site like Newegg or ZipZoomFly and get the prices from there. That should give you enough pricing info.
Instead of 4 x 512. Just get 2 x 1GB of RAM.
Just so you know, the dual core CPU's don't have much effect in current games unless the game is written to specifically take advantage of the two cores. It may be cheaper to go with a single core, higher speed CPU.
You can get a 7900GT for the same price as two 7600GT's. Not exactly sure which is faster in today's games or which games have SLI support. Just something to think about.

2 7600GTs are more powerful than one 7900GT I think. The setup will comfortably run even highly demanding titles like Oblivion on full detail with minimal(read close to none) lag. And yeah, 2x1 GB RAM would be the best option right now, since the mobo would allow them to run in dual-channel mode, which is the optimal one. It's a good etup and everything should fit together nicely. Well done! :grinthumb
