Okay.
I've done my homework. And I've settled on the below components.
What I need now is for some kind (and hopefully patient) soul to help me chck for compatibility issues and parts that could be replaced with better ones for around the same price.
Also, it would be nice if someone can list other parts of immediate lower caliber (for example, 8600GT>8800GT>8800GTX) for the video cards, processor and mainboard.
Asus has considerable reputation on many forums and I've decided to go with it, albeit slightly more costly.
Multiple prices indicate different prices across different shops.
Here goes:
