What would be the best....

A64 3700 @ 2.7
2gb XMS pc4000
Gigabyte 6800 GT
WD Caviar 160gb Sata II
500w Ultra X-Connect
Asus A8N SLi Premium

My new sata II hard drive (listed above) is coming in to replace my IDE drive (yay) and although this may sound dumb, what operating system would you suggest to format with?
WinXP Home
WinXP Pro
WinXP Pro 64 bit

I currently own all of these versions, so what would be best for gaming?

Depends if you can find the drivers for all your hardware, if you can find 64bit compatible drivers then go with the Win64, but not a lot are available ATM. otherwise go with proffessional, its an all rounded better set up.
