ok heres the Question whats the difference between them numbers?

DDR2 800,667,533

and whats best for a gaming PC?
Afaik, that number refers to the FSB clock speed. In that case, higher should be faster, but you have to make sure your mainboard can handle the speeds. Wouldn't make sense to buy RAM clocked at 800MHz when your mobo can only use 667MHz.
Also depends on the CPU. There's no point using an 800FSB mobo and RAM if your CPU's FSB is running lower.

Find what FSB your CPU and Mobo use, and get the RAM that's the lower of the two.

About 133.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

The RAM speed best for you is whatever is double the FSB of your motherboard. If your FSB is 333, the equivalent speed DDR2 RAM is 667. But you can still use 800 on any recent mobo afaik, you just change the strap in the BIOS. Whatever that is, I haven't got a modern rig yet, I've just been doing a lot of research lately.
the mother board will be a new nvidia one N680i and supports the 3 numbers i told you

heres the spec (im in china so sorry for the Chinese writing)

now im just tossing between the best memory to buy
i cant get that here

i can get this tho

http://product.pconline.com.cn/memory/corsair/198057.html

also for running all of this including the 2 8800gt's what power should i need 1 600w or a 450w?.
It also has some Uv lights in the case and water cooling and a couple of fans on the HDDs and 4 hdds 1 blue ray player 1 DVD ram and a DVD rom independent sound card and 2 cooling controllers,

think thats it lol
Well, you didn't look hard enough. It was actually advertised on the page that you linked above

http://product.pconline.com.cn/memory/corsair/161086.html

The memory you are looking at is, in my opinion, overkill. The stuff above is fine for your needs.

As for the power supply, definitely get the 600W, lol. 450 is most certainly not enough to run two graphics cards AND all your peripherals. Take a look at the Corsair 620HX if you can get that there...
its advertised but with no price

i can get a tt toughpower 650 w its cheaper and its probably better in some ways with support for 4 sli cards all plugging into it so think i will go for that.

Thanks for all the help guys much appreciated
the ram you can get will be good for you. and i would pick up the toughpower 650w if you can get it. just to let you guys know ddr1066 ram will work with a board that only supports ddr533, ddr667, ddr800. it will just run at a lower clock speed until you either overclock it or adjust the memory strap in the bios but have the memory running higher than your fsb on your cpu doesnt benefit much. so run lower clock speed and tight timings if you wont be overclocking. ddr800 with 4-4-4-12 timings will run about the same performance as ddr1066 at 5-5-5-15 timings.
