Need help on getting 2gb ddr800 rams don't know what brands good. I already have a harddrive so i don't need to worry about that. Please comment and tell me if there's a better choice. Any help or comments is appreciated.

The PSU is a bad choice, Antec is a quality unit at a fair price.
Patriot RAM would be a good choice for you, it is a proven performer and relatively inexpensive, i currently utilize 4-512MB sticks of DDR2 800MHz RAM for my 5200+ based system.
I will soon retire that RAM and CPU when my 6400+ Black Edition and Corsair XMS2 arrives
