Mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Chan
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820146731 is $49.99 after rebates and does provide marginally better timing.
But in truth, my first choice is still:
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Chan
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820227298 as it comes out to be $37.99 after rebates. But the choice is ultimately yours 
Other than that everything seems sound. Although, as dirtmountain said, if you can afford a few extra bucks($25 to be exact), might want to consider Western Digital Caviar Green WD6400AACS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
