I agree with Jesse, the 8800GT is a great card, but for the use you plan to make, I'd suggest the 3850 or the 8800GS. Of course you could go for even a lower card, but those cards should let you play very good sometimes games.
Also, I would look at an other PSU such as the Corsair 550VX, but it may not be necessary. I just would suggest for a high quality PSU because I wouldn't want to risk a new build over a few $. I would also tend to suggest the E8400, but at the same time, the one you chose would be plenty(most likely) and is about 50$ cheaper. Again, we could push things even further and suggest the E4500 since its just to be used for basic computer needs and sometimes gaming.

hey guys well thank you for your advice the reason i was getting the 8800 gt is because in case i want to play higher graphics games i could. as for the psu i was just choosing this one b/c for now its enough at least i think to run this rig it has 36 amps on the 12 volt rails i figure if i chose to go sli or something i will have to upgrade the mobo and the psu. what about the card however will it work with the mobo i have? if you guys think i should upgrade the mobo i don't mind spending an extra few dollars to do that i just figured this one was good for now let me know thank you.

Not sure why you're switching mobo, your previous one was good. I wouldn't suggest going SLI specially with your needs; therefore, I'd advise against an NVIDIA chip mobo, you should go for an Intel based one like the previous one you chose.
As for the difference between the E8400 and E6750, well the first one is a bit better, but I am not sure that with your needs you'd actually see any difference... So, for that matter, maybe it would be wiser to stick to the cheaper one.
