As for the graphics you mus tell us what games you are playing and how much details you want.In this case, since you are using a 17inch, a 7600GT should be okay.You are paying more for the "XFX" and the "XXX edition" branding and all the frills inside, where actually you could pay much lesser ad get the same card so the xpertvision one should suit you.A 7900GS is basically using the same core as the 7900GT but it is castrated as four of its pipes are "locked".It is definitely better than the 7600Gt due to its increased memory bandwidth.
Motherboard, depends on your preference, if you want stability, Intel is the way to go
