I'd go E6750 + P31-S3G... But that's just me.

If you can afford it you should go to the 512MB 8800GTS, the ten unified shaders really make a difference.

Skip the board and get this one

I will go for
COOLER MASTER Elite 330/ Centurion 5
E6750
P31-S3G
Crucial Ballistix 2 x 1GB DDR2 800 BL2KIT12864AA804
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Arctic Cooling MX-2
