I knew I would forget something

Trust PW-5250 420W PSU

what do you think?

I think you need a better PSU. It may be enough power, but I'd think you'd want a minimum of 450W. Can you give a link to the specs on that PSU?

If you're not going to OC, stick with 533 or 667 Ram. No need for 800.

Unfortunately, that link doesn't provide enough info to go buy. Does it have single or dual 12V rails? How many amps on the 12V rail or rails? I've seen 500W PSUs not provide enough juice. You simply can't just go buy the listed wattage unfortunately.
