I would suggest you get an intel based MB that is SLI ready. Then get 2 sli video cards, one for each monitor. This way you don't slow down on the video render. Then get a quad-core. And as mentioned, not the newest. Get the 2nd or 3rd newest. And put in 3 gig of the fastest ram.

The MB should also be the fastest you can afford. You don't want any bottlenecks on the bus. Just remember, your computer is only it's fastest as the slowest part. So don't limit yourself by getting a slow MB.
