Took me a long time to decide on parts. I haven't built a PC in over 4years.

Please let me know how I did on my choices, most of this was taken from posters on this forum and other reviews.

Cool Master 690
Asus P5Q Pro
Q6600 2.4Ghz
Xigmatek S1283 (with retention kit, Tuniq TX-2 Thermal grease)
MSI R4850 (good stock cooling)
G.Skill 4GB DDR2 800
WD6400AAKS
LG 20x Dvd/Cd burner
Corsair 450W VX PSU
2x Cool master 120mm fans
2x Scythe 120mm Slipstream fans (extra fans for the case)
Vista 64 Home Premium SP1

I think that's all of it. Might move my SB Audigy to the new rig depending how good the onboard sound is with the mobo.

All together it came to about $1,050. More than I wanted to spend, but then again I got vista and the extra fans.
 
We've got pretty similar builds.

Cooler Master 590
(Asus P5Q Pro) or (Foxconn P45A-S) or (Biostar TP45 HP + firewire card)
Q9400 + Free game
2x G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2-800
Xigmatek S1283 (with retention kit, AC MX-2)
Palit GTX260
2x WD6400AAKS
LG Bluray / HD DVD player (burns DVDs)
Corsair 650W TX PSU
2x Cool master 120mm fans
MSI Theater 650 Pro.
Vista Ultimate x64 (free for me)

Mine came out to about $1,506 to $1,522 depending on which motherboard I go for.
 
Looks good, although many seem to prefer the layout of the P5Q-E for just $10 more. Either P5Q will be a winner though. I'd pull the trigger.

What makes the E better?

Which parts of the layout I mean?
