Gigabyte MB, it's a good value for the money.
The otherone is just overpriced.

I would do the Q6600, I expect more games to take advantage of all the cores very soon. Even without that, it could help if other processes kick off in the background.

Get the 640Mb Video card, it will be of use at that resolution.

Consider a 2nd HDD for backup purposes.
It can also be used to for swap files and the like to help performance.
