Will these specs work?

Basically, I've custom built a machine (haven't bought anything yet) from Newegg, and I wonder if the parts will all work together without error.

Here's the build:

4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 Memory
Nvidia GeForce (G92) 8800 GTS
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB
Antec True Power Trio 650W Power Supply
GigaByte GA-P35C-D53R Motherboard
Cooler Master Mid Tower
ASUS SATA 20X DVD+RW Optical Drive
ZALMAN 92mm Heat Sink Fan
Windows XP Professional OEM

I've also heard about Crucial Ballistix memory. Should I go with 2 gigs of Crucial Ballistix 1066 rather than 4 gigs of Corsair 800?

Also, I'm working within a $1000-$1350 budget limit for the box.

Welcome to PCMech.

That looks like a fine list to me, good researching. No need for the 1066 RAM unless you plan on heavy overclocking. I'd stick with DDR2-800.

Keep in mind though that you need a 64bit OS to use all 4GB of RAM. 32bit versions recognize about 3.2GB. Easiest thing to do is to just stick with 2GB for now and upgrade if you need to later.
