Your links are all broken, so I can't see what RAM you were planning on using. I would make sure to pick up a quality CAS 5 DDR2 1066 kit like this:

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231166 $58.99

All the other parts look good.

Maybe swap the 750TX for the PCP&C Silencer 750w since it has a higher efficiency.
