    first of all I really think you should get Intel C2D. It slaughters the Pentium line.

    something that's priced closest to Pen D 2.8 is probably the E6300

    for the board this is the probably one of the best board for C2D

    The Geforce XT is a ripoff do not buy
    get GEforce 7600GT and then wait for a DX10 graphic card

    Also the PSU, Ultra brand I tend to get a reputable brand such as Enermax, Antec, Silverstone, but some people have good experience with the ultra psu. Personally I will only use those as backup.
