PC build help



I only have a few parts that I have settled on, and need some help
with the other components. I already have the HDD's, optical drives,
and peripherals. So...here's what I do know :

PSU/Case: Antec Sonata III (is 500W enough?)
CPU: E4500 (The other choice was E6600 but I am not an intense PC user
and can upgrade later)
GPU: 8800GT (Which model should I choose XFX, EVGA, etc.....)
Mobo: I simply have no idea, I want this build to be economical but I
don't want to be pulling my hair out in month....I would like to spend
no more than $130
TigerDirect.com has a bundle with the Intel DG31PR Motherboard and
E4500, good or bad?

RAM: just the same as the Mobo, I have no idea... I want 2GB maybe
even 1GB...but what brand and model?

Like I said nothing too intense for now. This will be for gaming at
1280x1024 max for now...in about 6 months it will hopefully be up to
1920x1080. I will be running Windows XP for now and Vista in a while.
I would like to try video editing, but nothing too intense just making
videos to send out to family overseas.
