I would wait for Windows 7, and just use a copy of Windows XP for now if you have one available. Buying a brand new OS with a newer one scheduled to be released soon is not worth it in my opinion...

Something a little cheaper would be worth it especially if you won't be doing SLI/Crossfire... Maybe a
Asus P6T Deluxe?

No comment needed, will be good, proven design

Best value i7 processor available, overclocks very well (if you are interested)

Quiet PSU, will provide enough power for your system. A little overkill, look at the
650 watt version or something by Seasonic/Corsair over ~450 watts

Good video card

Is this for the hard drive or DVD drive? If so you don't need to purchase one separately, motherboards come with some.

Expensive for the performance... Try
G.Skill?

Missing graphics card? The integrated 780G is nowhere close to a GTX 260...
I hope all that helps you! Good luck!
