Always awesome to see people upgrading, I just went a P4 3.0ghz to the i5 750, you will really feel the difference, specially with differences in the improved RAM speeds as well. Now going more on topic: Is there a reason you buying a network card? Most motherboards come with a Ethernet port on them now, including that motherboard you have in the list which I might add supports faster speeds.
My i5 750 + Ati Radeon 5770 played Just Cause 2 just fine with some anti aliasing (1600*1200 resolution too). Yes I got the i5 for the same reasons as above, I have been meaning to overclock but the heat has been turning me off the idea.
Hopefully the tip about the network card says you a few bucks.

Re: Help Garabaldi build a computer (for games, obviously)
32'' is the size,not resolution.Even if your TV is 1080i (1920x1080 resolution) non of these games should cause any issues for a card like 5850.
With HDMI ideally you want to plug that into a Dolby/DTS receiver for the 7.1 sound (need the speakers too) as the video card has it's own audio controller that supports all the latest and greatest like BlueRay,Dolby True HD,DTS True HD,etc .
Straight into the TV would work as well.
