First. there is no such thing as 6600GS. There is 6600GT and 6800GS. Out of the two, I would definitely have bought the 6800GS. And of the motherboards you have listed, the Asus A8N-SLI deluxe is definitely the best. But if you you are not planning on two GFX cards, this board is useless. Better choice would be Asus A8N-E.

Going for all of the above, I don't think it will be in your 50k budget. So I think the following would suffice.

AMD 3800+ X2 (if available)
Asus A8N-E
XFX 6800GS/6600GT depending on budget
1GB RAM
160GB SATA HDD.

The board I have listed above is based on the nforce4 ultra chipset, one of the best non-SLI chipset. The Geforce 6150 chipset is also good but it is having on-board graphics, so not as good as this one.

If you want to buy a SLI setup, then look no beyond the Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe. Later you can add another of the same GFX card you have bought now.
