:twisted: I would change the graphic card for a x1800 or a 7900gt.
The 512 x1600 is a total waste of memory for a core that cannot fully utilize the ram. Dont expect to play ony of todays games on high quality, because you simply wont.
But If you are not a gamer or an enthusiast, you should be fine

Ok few changes:

1) Kingmax and Asus not agree. Use Corsair or OCZ. Make sure you buy a matched pair (2x 512) also for dual channel mode.

2) Spend $8 more and get the A8N-E. The NF4 Ultra chipset is nice, plus its gives you SATA II.

3) That video card like others have said, get an 1800/7900 for games, or a 7600GT otherwise.
