Motherboard, I have not heard much about the foxconn board yet. I am partial to the EVGA and Asus boards myself.

For a couple bucks more, this RAM has better timings: Newegg.com - OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Also, this combo is 20 bucks more, but you get a better mobo: Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!

Grab this HDD for 5 bucks more, higher cache: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

Also, grab these parts for a cooler:

^ Haha Hikari got pwnd.

And yeah, good choices if you go with the Platinums (Am i credited as the first person to suggest these? I dont remember), and 32mb blacks.
Also change to the Sunbeam as hikari said, usually i would reccomend the xiggies (S1283) instead but it means you wont have to buy MX-2 or TX-2 and the core contact edges out no matter who reviews them.

^^ Be careful, or I'll fire mah lazBBAAAAAHHHH!

Back on topic, everything else looks pretty good. You may want to upgrade the a GTX 285 though.

 

[Puddle Jumper]

I would change the gpu to a HD 4890 which has similar performance to the GTX 275 but is cheaper and overclocks better.

At 37" you do NOT need 120hz. It's hard to differentiate the difference even until 42 and above. At 37" you really won't. I'm not 100% sure if they even make a 37 120hz. I know we don't carry it.

Also remember a HDTV may not be the best for gaming (im assuming you want it to game...). The response time might be awful in comparison to monitors.

 

[Thresh25]

response time is = to refresh rate. Typically 60hz refresh rate is a 6 ms response time.

IMO, getting a TV for your computer isn't worth it. They have much lower PPI (Pixels per inch) and a lower resolution overall. I would grab a 26" monitor to game on. It will have a slightly higher res. and much more PPI than any lcd tv you get. If you are using this build as a media center just so you can watch some HD movies and have lots of storage, then you are spending about $600 too much lol. I am assuming that you want to game on this though so I would recommend you take my suggestion of getting a monitor.
