i would personaly upgrade the GFX to a 4850

and the Mobo to something with a p31 or p43 chipset

however if your budget is really tight im sure it will do fine as it is

For compatibility issues dont worry as they well matched, my only concern is to the motherboard itself, as far as i know u want to spent more on the motherboard than any other part as this is the main part of the computer, if u want the computer to last choose something else im pretty sure that u can find anything better within that price range as for example

+1 for the P5K SE board. It's what I run my e8400 on at 4.1ghz. very stable and idiot proof.
