It's all compatible, but DDR2-1066 is a waste. DDR2-800 is plenty and with that processor, DDR2-667 is even acceptable. Make sure your power supply meets ATX 2.0 specs, there weren't too many of those back in 04.

I don't see why not - even onboard video should play BD.

Nope. It's only a 20 pin, and it's a low quality unit too. The best ATX 2.0 PSU for the money right now is an Antec Basiq 500 at 40 bucks.
