look at the benchmarks yourself for the two cards before you decide. (back to Tom's and look for the graphic card benchmark links.)
i personally favor the G92 GTS because (1) card is double wide, the second slot being the cooler, which pumps hot air out the slot in the back rather than returning the hot air to the case, and a cooler case is a good thing for OCing, and (2) slightly better performance than the GT. but make up your own mind.
a lot of folks, some of whom i even respect 
will tell you the GT is the better value since it is cheaper and the performance is in the same ball park, but i have heard bad things about the fan/cooler on that card. however, if you are not OCing and cash is tight, the GT is a nice card and I doubt you will regret it. at least not until NVidia releases the 9000 series of cards in a few months.

one more from me -
why the Abit P35 motherboard? if you really like it get it. but if you are still open to suggestions...
if you are not going to do RAID or run dual video boards, might I suggest you look at the GA-P35-DS3L:
(click the picture to see it at newegg)
it is often mentioned in this forum. it is very stable, easy to overclock, really inexpensive, and an excellent choice as long as RAID and SLI are not part of your build. The latest BIOS for it makes it penryn friendly for that E8400 chip you mentioned.
