Operating System: Windows XP Professional
Video Card - 9800 pro sounds like a VERY good idea.
HDD: Definitely go with 8mb buffer, when it comes to SATA or PATA, which ever drive is cheaper, but atleast make sure your mobo supports SATA, so later on you can get a SATA drive if you don't get one now.
Power Supply - Go for 400w at the very least I'd say. Antec is synomonous with being reliable, but there are quite a few other good brands also, just make sure it's not a no name!
Processor: You can't really go wrong with either, although I do prefer Intel myself.
