XPp here too!
But a good amount of this decision is based on your hardware specs...if I were say under the 1.0 GHz range CPU wise, and under 512 megs for RAM, I'd start leaning towards Win2Kp. Because if you have something like a PII 450 with 256 megs of RAM...XP would be a bit painful.

On Board sound is OK, but for games go with Creative Audigy2 ZS for sound card,
CDRW Sony, Plextor
Nice MOBO by the way, run a p4p800 delux here, awesome

for sound, I would recommend the M-Audio Revolution 7.1 or a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz.....
