Are all these parts compatible?

[Extrapolate]

I tried to check the compatibility of these parts, however I decided to post here to make sure. I already have the video card and most of the other non-listed parts taken care of.

Mother board:
GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

Processor/CPU:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 Allendale 2.0GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor

Hard drive:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS
(Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA
3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM


DVD/CD drive:
ASUS Black 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E616A3T - Retail


RAM:
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit


Case:
COOLER MASTER Centurion 534 RC-534-KKN2-GP
Black Aluminum & Mesh bezel / SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Everything looks OK. Would suggest a few tweeks to the list. If your not going to OC, would go for Corsair Value Select DDR2 667 ram.
Not sure about Asus optical drives, we usually recommend Lite-On.

You didn't list a PSU, so need to think about that. The type of video card will determine the size needed. Look at the PSU sticky in the General forum for good PSU brands.

Three other things I should have probably put in the first post need to be added to the list:

Power supply:
Thermaltake toughpower W0103RU ATX12V / EPS12V 600W Power Supply 100

Cooler:
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler (Not sure if I need this, however it might be handy)

Video card:
e-GeForce 8600 GTS (I already physically have this card).
Before I knew much about PSUs I tried to plug this into the internal PSU that came with the computer it used to be in (hope that did not damage the card). Have not tested the card since then (the old computer currently has a lock up problem that one computer expert said would necessitate sending it to Best Buy or somewhere else to be tested and worked on).

Going to check the PSU thread.

Changed the RAM to:
Corsair Value Select DDR2 667 ram

Changed the DVD drive to:
LITE-ON Black IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model LH-16D1P-187

Probably going to pass on over clocking this PC in the near future since it is the first time I have tried to build a computer for various parts (have some experience with changing parts out though).

That power supply is under the "Good" list, but this power supply is excellent quality, and is almost always recommended for the 8800's. Its also in the same price range, so you might as well get it. Watts arn't everything also.

CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail

I dont know if I would get a board with DDR2 and DDR3 slots like that. DDR3 is too new and too expensive. The Asus P5K or P5B is usually recommended.

Will those boards work with everything thing else I have listed? So far, it looks like they will. If so, I am going to switch to one of them. How big is the performance difference on the two boards? Both can hold 8GB of RAM which would seem like plently for my purposes.

Going to take your advice on the PSU.

if you arent planning to overclock the standard cooling should be fine, and if you install the artic freezer you will void your warranty
