new gaming rig

hello im looking for some advice on what parts i should be looking for to go along with what i already have

i have

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400-cpu
Antec Nine Hundred-case
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA-mobo
mouse keyboard os
monitor

i was leaning towards

EVGA 512-P3-1151-TR GeForce GTS 250-video card
Western Digital Caviar Black 750GB-hard drive
LG GH22NP20-optical drive
Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W-power supply

as you can see there is no ram listed since i cannot come to a solid decision so help with that would be greatly appreciated
also the budget is around $410
thanks in advance for the advice/suggestions

I would recommend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145184

Only 20 bucks after rebate. You only need 800MHz, unless you are going to be doing extreme CPU overclocking. Faster RAM will net you absolutely zero performance increase, only cost you more.

Recommend you do not use high voltage ram in a P35 board. It's best to use 1.8 or 1.9 volt ram.
