In terms of CPU, it depends if you're going to overclock or not. If you are, between those 2, get the E8400. Its a no contest really. But if you're going to leave everything at stock, or do light OCing only, it depends alot on how much multitasking you're going to be doing. Personally I'd go for the Q6600... but that's just me. I'm sure there are going to be many others who will disagree.
As for graphics card the 8800GT is the most powerful in terms of raw GPU power from the 3. But then the 9600GT overclocks great so can be brought up to near 8800GT standards at a cheaper price. (The most powerful single card out there right now would probably be the 9800GTX... so for a bit more cash that's always an option.)
Personally, I've always loved Abit and their boards, and the IP-35Pro is one of their better (if not the best) P35 motherboard. For me, the IP35 Pro. Definitely.
