I think this is it!

I've posted up some on different forums and some suggested switching the processors to the i7...this would mean I need a motherboard that can handle the i7 and I was looking at the EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard...is this okay?

i recommend switching the mother board to an nvidia 780i by evga
and i have the same power supply its really good but do your self a fav get a modular cableing one

I mean, hey, if you can afford an i7 build, by all means go for it. If not, a PII build might suit you well.

What's your budget?

if you're already spending that much, go i7, this is my dream motherboard, the blue and black looks sweet...

ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

About 2000 to 2500! Somwhere around there!

You could also save around $80 if you get home premium instead of vista ultimate
But that's up to you
And like other people in that forum said, make sure you get 64-bit

With that budget i'd definitely go i7.
