I now Grathos is guiding you here but my 2p is Yes and No.

Think of the future and get a mobo that meets at least today's best offerings on memory, CPU socket, chipset. NO to the 1.5Gb 580 if you can afford the 3Gb. also see Grathos' earlier post. If they can't do better than that you may not be talking to the best supplier.

For the graphics card, is AMD Redeon not an option?

The 7970 should be trickling through now (if your quick), yes it is dearer than the GTX580 but not by a lot and it will definitely see you through the next few years.

Answer is, money is not an object, but, I live in Dubai, and nowhere has the 3GB

S!

Go for the AMD 7970HD if available. It is the fastest card at the moment. I ordered a XFX 7970HD Black Edition 3Gb version.
