I reckon that that mobo is probably a bit overkill then. What about it made you choose it? I assume you need Firewire. Will you be gaming? If not then the 8800 GT is OTT.

The extra few hundred MHz the Yorkfield offers is absolutely not worth the huge price tag. Having a discrete sound card will make all the difference in terms of audio quality.
Paying more for elusive "stability" is a waste of money in my opinion. The Abit is just as stable if not more so than this X38 Gigabyte. The Gigabyte shines when it comes to overclocking but you won't be using those features.
