It's no problem we like doing this :D . and by the looks of your mobo enginurd is going to like you a lot. :)

Everything is going to work but some ideas on what this is for and what your budget is would help us out a lot. Most of the time I would recommend 2gb or ram but we'll see what the use and budget is. Also get 2 of 512 if you are going to go the 1gb route.
 
Get 2 sticks of ram so you can run it in dual channel ;)
 
idunno, i'd stick with the 1GB stick, just incase you want to upgrade to 2GB's later and then u can run dual channel. You'll only see a slight increase, but I'd rather have the upgrade potential.
 
Yea, my budget was originally $600, but it changed to $700. And about the 1g of ram.. I was planning to get another stick of 1g in the next couple of months, so that's why I left it as that. The only gaming I do is Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft, so I don't run any of the new insane graphic-intensive games.

Thanks for the help guys. :)

Still about an hour or two before I order it, so any last minute changes are definitely welcome. :)

hahahaha... its a smart choice for the budget conscious. I agree goin with the dual channel kit, but since you're getting another stick in a couple months, you'll be fine. Looks like a solid build. Since you don't game much, you could probably get away with the 7600GT instead of the 7900GS.

If not, this BFG 7900GS is cheaper after rebate, but requires a higher up front cost.
 
Thanks guys, going to be a HUGE upgrade. Going from a Barton 2500+ with a Radeon 9600 Pro to this. Yay. :)
 
good luck buddy.
nice choice of parts.
look familiar to what im building too!
