I'm planning on getting a new rig this month after putting it off a few months ago, how's this spec sound:

I've got another 4 hard drives that I'm taking out of my existing setup along with the dvd burner and Audigy sound card along with my copy of XP.

Just wondering what the best motherboard would be for the above spec, I was thinking of getting the Gigabyte DS3 (the 69.99 one) a few months ago, is that still a good choice?
 
All the drives are SATA and 2 of them are running in Raid 0, I like the look of the Lian Li but it only has 4 3.5" bays I think and I plan to add another drive in the future (so 6 total), I may opt for an Eclipse if you guys think that'd be better than the Antec (which is cheaper).

I think I need to have the 620mb card too as I'm using a Dell 2407 and I've read that the 620mb card handles the 1920x1200 resolution a lot better.

But you all reckon the Asus is a good board to go for though?

How well would the c2d overclock with the 667mhz ram and the Asus board?
