That sounds strangely like the one I just built.
Intel Core2 8400
ASUS P5Q-Pro
4GB PC8500
Sapphire 3850 512MB DDR3
Antec Sonata III case
2x 500GB
total ~$750
The P5Q-E is a nice board, I would have went with it except a deal made
it a $60 difference instead of the $20 difference it was when I was
first looking.
