Spring for more memory, at least 4gb. Since you're mainly going to use Poser there isn't any huge advantage in using XP 64 with only 2gb. If you have 4gb you can at least use a whole 3gb of RAM for only poser, with 1gb free for the OS and whatnot.
If you have a choice between two produces of the same model, and one is "Retail" e.g. your hard disk, and the other is "OEM", always get the OEM version. It is much, much cheaper. Look for an OEM package hard disk and I'm certain you can get much more space for similar price.
Louguet here has shown that SLI (two video cards) doesn't benefit appreciably in Poser and other 3d apps. I wouldn't even consider it.
Consider going with a simpler Soundblaster card. I doubt anyone can really appreciate the difference between them.
