A Little Help woth Compatibility?

Hello All Hope you are enjoying the holidays! Well I have just started to build my own pc, and this will be my first. The main problem I am having thus far is choosing the various parts. I would just appreciate it if someone could look at the specs. and make sure that the parts fit:

Processors: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103759

Motherboards: ABIT KN9 ULTRA Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...P=OTC-d3alt1me

Memory: Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820134117


I will mainly be using this PC for internet browsing and gaming. A few other questions I have are: How do you know if your memory is compatible with your motherboard board? Does it matter which graphic/sound card you buy, when it comes to compatibility? Try to put it in lamens terms please. lol. Thanks for the help!

Follow the link on Newegg's site to the manufacturer's web page. On the right side, you'll see a compatability test, which will show all of the RAM that's been tested with the board.

The video card just needs to fit the slot (PCI Express x 16). Once you've selected that, you'll need to find a power supply that's suitable for the video card.
