Default Building new DAW recommendations

Hi. I am going to have a go at having my own Audio Computer built. This
is the spec I am thinking of:

Asus Asus P5W DH, but it has a lot of facilities I might not use/need.
OR
Asus P5B-E (which is cheaper) OR
the P5W DH
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 or 6600 if I can afford it
2 x Samsung Spinpoint P120 Hard discs
Min 128mb Video card
2gb memory
Windows XP home

My questions:

Is this a good way to proceed?

Does anyone have any knowledge of the 3 MOBOs I mention above. If the
cheaper one will do, it might mean I can spring the extra for the 6600
chip - but not if it is too much of a compromise.

I am using the Focusrite Sapphire as an audio/midi interface, so
presumably I won't need an internal soundcard .......?

Anything else you think I should know!

Thanks
