I already have a GTX 280, and a Corsair HX 620w so don't need a gfx card/power supply.

is the e8400 a good bang for buck overclocker? never gone for an asus board either, and not sure on the ram!

Are you not just asking for trouble with that price? Buy something else!

Looks good and popular choices.

I would maybe install the latest windows 7 beta and wait for the new release rather than speed all that money on Windows Vista.
