Are you planning to do a lot of tweaking? If you are I suggest an nForce motherboard. Check this out and see if you like it:
EVGA 122-CK-NF67-T1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
And this hard drive with perpendicular recording is only a Hamilton more:

One issue to addresss - the auzentech sound card doesnt' have full vista support, if ur going to get vista.

For about the same amount of money, I'd get this power supply instead:

This is assuming you used the power supply calculator and that 600W works for your system. Looking at your specs, I would think something 650-700W would be more appropriate. In that case, this is a good deal:
