Looking to replace my aging desktop

[Eluder]

Hi folks,

I'm looking to replace my aging desktop in my sig. It's treated me well for years now, but I think it's time for it to be put out to pasture.
Yes, I do have a powerful HTPC, but it's not exactly comfortable to do work or even just general browsing for long periods of time on the HTPC.

I'm considering a dual core Intel CPU with I guess a crossfire capable motherboard, just in case I get the urge to game, but I really have no clue where to start.

Not looking for anything as high end as my Asus Maximus board, and actually, I'd like to stay away from Asus for this build.

I'd really appreciate some recommendations on what motherboard and Intel CPU to go with and from there I can pretty much find the rest of the parts, which some will just be transplanted from my current desktop (ie: HDD, Optical drives).

Thanks!

Well, I'm thinking of the following, I'd really appreciate any feedback at all.
Thanks.

Gigabyte EP45-DS4P motherboard
Intel E8400 Processor
OCZ Reaper Hpc Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 4GB

Throwing in an HIS Radeon 4850 video card...

Planning to keep my OCZ ModStream 520W, hopefully that should suffice?

That should make for a good build, everything looks good.

Thanks, although to be honest, after a little more research, I became a tad skeptical since the board doesn't support x16 on the second pci-e slot when going crossfire. It looks like I'd have to go x38/x48 to get that feature... which is probably more than I'd like to spend on a board right now.
