I haven't heard much about that brand of RAM, so I can't really comment on it, but here's what I'd use:

Also, I would pass on the sound card. Try the motherboard's onboard sound. You really won't get much benefit from an upgraded sound card unless you have a nice set of speakers/headphones.

If you do end up going for a sound card, here's what I'd get:

Hmm, just noticed they added some new models.

I don't know what the differences are though, but I suppose that's something you can look into if your interested.
