Cool Another one who wants to build a great pc!

Hi, I am looking to build my own PC in the very near future, but am a little dense when it comes to choosing the right hardware, making sure it is all compatible etc!.... with my luck i'd wire it up and cause an explosion that would take out haiti, so if I had a budget of say $2500, and I need the following:

Motherboard
RAM
Power Supply
Case
OS
DVD RW/CD RW
Graphics Card
Hard Drive
Processor

I already have a great sound card i'll be pulling from my old machine, along with a very nice LG LCD monitor, so those 2 things are taken care of, I really want a machine that will will run high end games, PCI-E graphics card is a must, AGP is a little redundant, I would be buying all items from newegg.com, love that site, but I look at for example, the motherboards, and I am lost, I would love to spend $300 on one if I actually knew how to configure it lol.... I read on some other forum, some guy getting WinXp to boot in 6 seconds, that's what im after, this 30 second boot time must come to an end!!

All feedback welcomed!

Cheers
