I agree with Mike.
Get an Abit IP-35 Pro (screw SLi, it's pap), two lots of 2GB Crucial Ballistix PC6400, and something like the Scythe Infinity - then you'll be getting there.
As for Raptors, I'd say they weren't worth the premium / extra noise (yes, I'm aware that I own one ).
is that ram better than Dominator?

My System: Coolermaster Centurion 5 (black) case, Intel E6750 Core2Duo, Tagan Easy-Con 530W, Asus P5B Deluxe WIFI, OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM XTC, Samsung SpinPoint 200Gb SATA2 / 2 x Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200Gb SATA, 256Mb Sapphire ATI PCI-E X1950PRO, Creative X-Fi Xtreme 7.1, 19" Daewoo W9ZQ Black Widescreen TFT, 4Mb Virgin Cable Broadband (formerly Blueyonder) with Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G and DD-WRT firmware.
Get a P35 board, and stick with the 8800GTX, even at 1280x1024. Sure it's overkill now but you will be using it next year right? It'd suck to buy a new game in January and have to put the settings to medium just because you bought a GTS instead...
Surely even a 320mb 8800GTS should be able to handle resolutions 1680x1050 (the usual resolution of a 22" WS). For the price of a GTX you could buy a GTS and a 22" right now!
Or you could buy a GTS now and in January sell it and buy whatever's affordable then (a GTX? or whatever the new nVidias are going to be) and a 24" monitor.
