ABIT IC7-G MAXXII which is pretty much the same thing without the OTES

Awesome call... if I went Intel that's probably the board I'd get (other than the ASUS) ... ive got enough fans to deal with circulation.

Corsair XMS Dual Channel Extreme Memory Speed Series for 263$ is that a good type?

Yep!

The Hard Drive I will be getting is a Western Digital 120GB

Is that the 2MB cache version or the 8MB cache version?

The DVD/CD Burner is a TDK Multi Platform DVD Burner, 12X DVD+R, 4X DVD+RW, 8X DVD-R, 4X DVD-RW, 48X CD-R, 24X CD-RW

How much is this? Depending on the cost I might reccomend you grab the Plextor 708A instead. Doesnt have the speed of the 712 but a lot more functionality and reliability than the TDK (i used to be a TDK fan, now im an ASUS/Liteon fan but the Plexy's are "on their own") ... of course considering the rest of the system (and its cost) id strongly advise you hunt down a Plextor712 -- best dvd burner on the planet hands down.

As for the Graphics card I am willing to pay around 500$ for a top of the line Graphics card, I prefer Nvidia, but never tried Radeon so maybe I am biased.

Apprently the bias is warranted: nvidia's 6800 have support for Shader spec 3.0 where the X800 does not.... strange that ATI decided to skip out on it. Personally I'd take the 6800... but realitsically it doesnt matter much

you said I need a nice HSF for my Processor what brand is good? should I be looking for a certain RPM?

Not specifically an RPM value .... do you like loud or quiet? I've posted a crapload of ideas and suggestions for both here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/81431 ... of course if you want really fancy (read: expensive), grab a VapoChill -- they are "affordable" and weigh in at $400USD

eeeeeeeeeeew! Puny ... the Cu/Al heatsink is probably very well done (Zalman does know how to make heatsinks) however the fan simply doesnt put out enough CFM to keep the cooler effective (IMO)

A tad more expensive a probably much more effective (i'm considering one)
http://www.monsieurprix.com/listing/gen/J000051903.html

This cooler doesnt have the "deadzone" in the center:
