No compatibility issues that I see... looks like it will be great. As for the OS, just XP Home should be fine if you don't know any specific features you'd need of the others. Vista is out anyway.

I've never heard of the RAM brand for (or at least anything about it). I'd rather see you go for some Corsair RAM.

As for Home vs MCE, will you use the extra features of MCE?

Blue, the A-DATA RAM surprisingly is very decent. Anandtech uses it in budget setups because it is compatible with the AM2 and C2D setups.
