Let's rethink this one.

For 20 bucks more you can get an ASUS P5Q PRO.
Leave nVidia chipsets alone.
Here is a list that I made up for a member a few nites ago.
This would probably make you much happier:
GAMING BUILD LIST

Since you plan on using VISTA, make that a 2x2gb kit in the memory department.
DO NOT waste your money on a ROSEWILL PSU.

I would suggest you take a good look at the build list that chuck4456 linked to. All quality parts that will perform well together.

Pick another power supply manufacturer Rosewill is on the PCMech "avoid" list.

What Power Supply should I get? How many Watts? Who made it? Guide Inside
