You don't need $85 AR DDR2-800. There's a deal somewhere (ZipZoomFly? Buy.com? Maybe even Newegg, I don't remember) for 4GB of A-DATA (solid stuff -- they OEM for several bigger names) DDR2-800 for $65, no rebate. I'd go with that. You will not see any performance difference.
I'd go with a Western Digital 640MB AAKS series drive or a Samsung 750GB F1 series drive over the Seagate.. unless the Seagate is considerably less expensive. Both the WD and Samsung drives are faster.
What do you feel you need a 1000HX for? A TX 750 is enough for Quad SLI by my own calculations, at least, with a good bit of headroom too. It can be had for less than 1/2 of the cost of the 1000HX.
If you aren't going SLI, buy a P35 board.
