Also this rig would be used for nothing but gaming/OC'ing!!!!

Why not just upgrade your Gpu to the GX2 or a 4870 and get a 4 gig kit of ram and put the rest of your cash away into a Nehalem or AM3 fund.
It's your money to spend but that is what I would do because by the time games actually need more than 2 cores to game well, that updated rig would be outdated.

Off topic: Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door !

I definitely would not get a Raidmax power supply. I have had 2 different models blow up and smoke on me.

I would have to agree with the others about waiting for i7 or AM3.

GPU: I don't know what games you play and size of lcd. GTX260. You select intel board so may give 4850 a thought.
PSU: Seems you must have a modular psu. Look for a used Corsair 520 in for sale section.
Board: Asus P5Q-E gets my vote.
RAM: They are fine. Corsair Dominator.
