That board only uses DDR2 memory, that DDR1 memory you have selected won't work with it. That's the only problem I see. I don't have much hands on experience with highend P4's anyway.

You won't need a DVD ROM when you've got a DVD burner. Could save you that money by taking that out. You could channel that into upgrading your sound card to an Audigy 2 ZS, which would give you a better quality card than the Audigy 2 Value.

Which company makes your videocard? I don't have a 6800GT myself, but I'm sure other people can give you some tips on which one(s) are better than others.
