abit p35 mobo, if your not gonna OC then you dont need a beefier mobo and x38 would be kinda pointless since its more expensive and offers nothing different aside from 2x16 crossfire slots v's a 16 and a 4 on this mobo.

I would offer a couple alternate suggestions.
CPU: The Q6600 is good, but that's only if you need a quad core. If you're not much of a gamer, programmer, video editor, etc, then you should be fine with an E6750. It's about $90 cheaper. If you do go with the Q6600, make sure you get the G0 stepping. It can be found here.
MOTHERBOARD: The IP35 is great, as is the ABIT IP35 Pro, but if you don't need the extra add-ons, firewire, 6 sata ports, and additional cooling pipes, you can get the ABIT IP35-E for a great price. Alternates are the Gigabyte DS3R or ASUS P5K.
RAM: Go for 4GB if you are planning on using a 64-bit system. If not, I would suggest starting out with 2GB since you can always upgrade later. This is some very good ram:
Crucial Ballistix, G.Skill.
HARD DRIVE: I don't know if you would need a raptor. In my eyes, its just not worth the money. Instead, I would go with a Seagate 320GB 7200.10 drive.
POWER SUPPLY: Rattle was right on. Corsair 620HX is the way to go.
VIDEO CARD: I'm not a specialist in this department and someone else can give much better advice than I can. I have heard good things about the 2900 Pro, but not sure. 8800GTS should suffice for your needs.
