If I were you, I would try and get an Intel Corei7 920 CPU, it will cut your render times in half from the processor you have listed, and is not that much more expensive.
The Geforce GTX 260 and above are great video cards. I always prefer Nvidia over ATI due to superior drivers and usually superior performance and compatibility with software.
4GB of ram is minimum, but if you are getting an Intel Core i7, it uses triple channel DDR3, so you will be getting either 3GB, 6GB, 12GB, or 24GB. I would get at least 6GB.
As for a Motherboard, I am extremely happy with my Asus P6T Deluxe V2. Allows me to overclock my corei7 920 to 3.92 Ghz easily. I could go much higher but the computer is in a warm room, and I didn’t want to push it with the heat. I recommend getting an aftermarket cooler for the CPU. I went with a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme, works perfectly.
Let me know if you need any more suggestions, as I build all my own systems and I’ve built several hundred over the years.

I pretty much agree with Jon. I’ve heard the Adobe guys say that you want at least 2 gigs of RAM per core of your processor. So 4 gigs is way too little, IMHO. You want the best processor you can afford and enough RAM to make it work well.
