I would pick this mobo instead:

It has higher rating and 780G would be nicer option should you consider Phenom II in the future, just extra $10.

Videocard is fine but you might want to check benchmarks and compare 9500GT to ATI 4650, results may surprise you for just $10 more.

This HDD is 2 times bigger and has SATA interface which is faster than IDE, just extra $5

Again for just $5 you can pick 4800+ instead of 4200+, 300Mhz more!

And for the same price better pick this memory (heatspreaders and reliable)

or

Well it's my thoughts, extra $30 investment will give you better resale value and around 20% more speed, why not?

32Bit OS will recognize 4Gb memory installed but will only show and use around 3-3.2Gb, with Vista you should better go with 64bit unless you think you might have some compatibility issues

That's a big help Black. I'm still getting the hang of comparing stuff and finding better deals. I'm gonna go with what you picked out. Thanks a lot man this really was a big help.

GPU: BFG GeForce GTX 280 Video Card (360$)

Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Socket 775 Intel P45 + ICH10R Dual-Channel DDR2 1366(160$)

Cooling: Arctic Cooling 120x120x25mm x2 (10$ x2)

the total ends up to be 1070$, i7 is too expensive still and you have to pay for an expensive motherboard with expensive ddr3 ram. Everything can be bought from either tigerdirect.ca or canadacomputers.ca, also if u need a monitor dell.ca has this deal on a 23" full hd lcd display for 170$

EDIT: The E8400 processor just went down in price 40$ yesterday.
