I'd recommend the GA-P35-DS3R instead of the GA-P35C-DS3R.

Nice setup. Why not get the Ultra since is just about the same price?

The P35C supports DDR3 RAM, which doesn't seem like it is going to be popular any time soon.

I'd also recommend a SATA3.0 drive. Don't go with IDE! Ribbon cables make me want to cut my wrists!
