If you expect to get 2Gb RAM for around 40 bucks I assume you are going DDR2 800. So you dont *need* a mobo that supports DDR2 1066 (which is substantially more expensive). But you may consider looking for a Mobo that does support the 1066 if you plan to buy new memory later, or fork out more now for faster memory.
I would personally shell out more dough for DDR2 1066 and get a state of the art Mobo that supports the DDR2 1066 and has a 1333 FSB. Couple that with a single PCI-E slot (you might consider 2.0 but it should not matter too much with that 8800 GT). Are you going to get an external audio solution or use on board audio? Do you know what OS you plan to use?

I would also consider forking out the dough for at least an Audigy 2 (like 20 bucks or something) but one of the low end X-Fis is preferable. Just a thought...

EDIT: wait...does that mean I need a new power supply to keep up with all these brand new, powerful, hardware?
