Which ever one has the latest kernel will end up having a greater chance of hardware compatibility. I believe your mobo is supported out of the box (link for linux review) and your video card has sli support after installing the proprietary nvidia drivers. The rest of your hardware listed does not involve linux hardware compatibility.

It really comes down to personal preference since all of those distro's latest release should have fairly recent kernels. For new users, go with Ubuntu or OpenSUSE.

I would try the tutorial that took for ever to be written so that we can avoid a thread like this everyday, but that's just me.

Make sure it's pclinuxos 2007. I've been playing with it, and everything just works... even my wifi, with NO EFFORT.

I second that! No need for ndiswrapper for wireless (atheros?)
I have edubntu in my son's machine and SAMLinux2007 (derived from PCLinuxOS) in mine.
