hi,
you may try this link to check the msi motherboard.
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=P45_Neo2-FR&class=mb
it will support all the specifications you gave.
you will also get the specifications of the motherboard.
since you need dual screen, try this link to get the graphics card that will suit your need:

try this link to compare the prices of some 1TB hard drives:

I've been building rigs for 20 plus years so here's a few ideas to consider.........
1. CPU is a fairly simple choice AMD Quad-Phenom or its Eqivalent Intel Q6600 or better.
2. Once you decided on CPU mobo choice to match that brand....Asus usually a good solid make, or MSI for cheaper variations. Note that Mobo Ram will be either DDR2 or DDR3 with numerous speed options that have to match the mobo specs. DDR3 rigs usually aim for 6gig while ddr2 will do 8-16gig usually
3. Invest in a quality PSU....cheap ones always fail at the worst times and dont last long term, Seasonic are regarded as the top dog there. A Backup power unit (UPS) may also be an option if you like in a area with frequent power issues.
4. GPU....most have dual output these days....expect to buy a PCIE v2 standard with DX10 or better (note that this is another reason to buy a good brand PSU as GPU can get serious problems relating to poor cheaply made PSUs). A nvidia 9800GT or 200 series would be the good starting point or ATI equiv.
5. HD's are cheap as hell these days....1TB sata2 is best starting size for recording i'd say, brand wise...Western Digital or Seagate are my faves, a matched pair or 2 drives in combo are pretty fast on SATA2 so raiding them isnt that big a worry.
6. Soundcard depends greatly on the OS you'l use....as vista dont support DX sound...its all done in its native api which i believe is OpenAL in vista, thus making creative XFI series best choice on XP and below....but for high end Vista probbly a Asus Xonar card would be best quality fit.
Hope this helps..
