Looks good to me robbiep! I would stick with XP 32 if you like it. Good choice going with the P35 motherboard; I've heard nothing but good things about the IP35 Pro. My only suggestion is don't skimp on the PSU. I would look for more guidance from some of these power guru's that are in the forums; this place is LOADED with systems expertise. All the best!
