Looks good, but I would go with this CPU and overclock a little, its only $5 more and the performance increase will be worth it:

It's a really solid system, nothing you really could do.

Varify compatibility but you can get a 4gb memory kit for not much more. Spending $36 for 2gb makes no sense when 4gb is available for a little more ($10 more)

quick search of newegg reviews shows people varifying that the memory listed below works with the mb you selected.

Good point. This Promo code EMCLTNS35 (good until 7/1) takes $5 off the price of that ram, so its $41 total.
