RadioMonk, that sounds great. I don't have any specific advice, but I'd love to see maybe a pic or some tests when you've got it done.
ExtremeTech just released their <$800 gaming rig specs for 2009 and they're really good. The competition in the CPU and GPU markets are really driving prices dow, which means this year's rig is much faster than last year's. The specs are as follows:
CPU:
Core 2 Quad Q8400, 2.66GHz ($195)
MoBo:
ASUS P5Q SE Plus ($120)
GPU:
EVGA GeForce 260 GTX Core 216 SSC ($220)
Memory:
OCZ's 4GB DDR2-800 ($35)
Case/PSU:
Cooler Master RC-534 w/ 460w PSU ($100)
Hard Drive:
Western Digital 320GB @7200rpm ($52!)
DVD Burner:
Sony Optiarc DVD burner ($26)
That's $748 for a gaming PC that won't have to be upgraded for a few years. It's a heck of a deal.
