combo deal for 210$

250 gts sli capable Newegg.com - MSI N250GTS Twin Frozr 1G GeForce GTS 250 1GB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
We are unsure of the processor to put in this rig, its gotta be AM3, but should we go with the high end 6 core? the normal 6 core? or a lower priced 2 or 4 core? we want to game with it, but not terribly high end, we also would like it to last for a while.
1 more question: should we get a higher wattage PSU (we intend to put in a second 250 gts someday)? would going SSD lower the watts used enough to make a difference? is 2 gfx cards + normal HD + 4 sticks of ram + 125 watt CPU going to be to much on this PSU?
Thanks for your time!
