ECC/REG memory is mainly used on server and workstation motherboards, and is not compatible with the board you have selected. So you should pick any non-ecc/non reg memory for your pc. You can use an intel board, they are rated for max stability though, and not performance. You don't need a 700W PS unless you are thinking of doing SLI. I would wait until the new NVIDIA Kepler series graphics cards come out before buying, a GTX 670 will last you longer than a 560 (cards due out late march/april) Plus new Intel chips come out in April also.
I would wait a month or two personally. Running a 64 bit os, I would get 16GB of RAM now, it is cheap.

Is this a new build that you own or a proposed build?
If it's a proposed build - I'd chuck the case as most everything Raidmax makes is complete garbage, and I'd definitely go with a better RAM and PSU vendor.
For the case go with a Cooler Master HAF 912 (or Antec 300 V2), for the PSU - go with a Corsair TX650, and for RAM go with Crucial Ballistix.
