Need advice - Got Parts / Need Parts (Gaming Rig / AoC)

[tgoviper]

Hi there,
Looking for some assistance.
I'm looking to purchase some parts for a build.

I've got a 8800GTS 512 (G92) and have picked out the CPU. I've got 3GB of good RAM as well.

Past that I need advice/recommendations on what to buy.
I suppose I can use my same case and PSU.

The biggies here are the hard drive and motherboard.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The P35 boards are popular if you aren't looking to SLI in the future. The 750i boards are decent if you are.

I like Hitachi's 500GB HDD. I get it from ewiz for ~$75. Use google product search.
