Well, why not get the P45 today? It has PCI Express 2.0 support and better support for DDR3 in the future... Got myself a Gigabyte GA-EP45C-DS3R last week for a similar combo that you suggest for a rebuild of my MediaCenter PC. Added a E8400 CPU, Gigabyte Silent 9600GT and 2 GB Corsair DDR2 memory. Runs silent and fast - the 45 mn CPU:s are great for MCE:s. It runs IL2 like a charm too - nice on a 42 inch TV The EP45C-DS3R has support for both DDR2 and DDR3 which is something I like - bought DDR2 now but I can switch to DD3 in the future when swapping around memory in my PC:s at home...

EDIT: The GA-EP45C-DS3R was really cheap so why go for a P35?
