My advice will cost you nothing
motherboard - the 2nd* T1 board you like is excellent, "lifetime warranty"! Like their GPU's* graphis cards, they have the best warranties in the tech buying Industry (BFG-too ! < ) for pc's...
Ram * no. buy the HQ sticks of G-skill here:

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I would (still) get this cpu > E6600 ( U can oc to almost 4!)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115003 most people will say Buy* A quad card...
maybe but I still would wait for the
new cpu releases on this chip first before attempting a new build* The
Penryn chip ? spelling ?
the best bargain Mobo right now with a built in Creative Hi-Fi sound card .. + 75.00 !s this which I would buy*
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130080"Buy" the way .......... tigerdirect s OK* But newegg if the product is there or a reasonable alternative, usually gives a buyer a much better price* +
If you been here awhile and know about quit asking questions and do a "google" search first* 9 times out of 10, you will find an answer !
Reading about all the stuff you want to spend/ purchase money on.......Helps
GPU _ ANY* 8800 ( Nvidia) series .... with 640 of ram * get one 1 # card ......... its too expensive to run SLI dual cards so, get the highest rated 8800 card you like....
Best Luck
