So far, all good proposals.

Check newegg's refurbished section for motherboards, video cards, and hardrives. Good deals with free shipping and 30 day warranty.

I agree with Mat, but you may want to look at the MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU. It has USB2.0.

Also, get Crucial DDR and the 8500. Mine is on the way.
