Wrong board for a non-gaming build. Look at IP35-E. If you don't overclock, any P31/G31/G33/G35 board is fine.

For video card, if you want to stay at that pricepoint then a 8800GS offers better performance

a cheaper 8600GT 512 DDR3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134039
I may be out of line, but i'd try to squeeze the extra $70 or so for http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115052

The most important thing really isn't how often you game but what games do you play and the quality you expect. I only game for about 4 hours a week but i want that 4 hours to be stunning.

wish i had a link but search for toms hardware 500 dollar pc gaming guide and start there.
