That RAM is a little cheap......probably wouldn't cut it if you plan on doing any overclocking. Crucial is a good brand, but a CAS latency of 6 is a bit high for DDR2 800. Most higher quality DDR2 800 will have a CAS latency of 4 or sometimes 5.

This ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145590
This MB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131288 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115052 What you save on this mb, you spend on the cpu, so it should even out. vista: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116485 And that power supply is garbage. You need a quality one. This should be good for your budget: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341012
