I don't think you can tell what stepping the processor is until you actually receive it and can see the information on the box. The only place that I know of that guarantees g0 stepping is ClubIt.com.. otherwise I think it's just the luck of the draw.
 
I would have gone with 4 gigs of DDR 2 800 RAM and definitely a bigger HDD than 250 gigs. The rest look good though.
 
The AC F7 Pro should get you to 3Ghz, but I doubt much more. If you want to go higher, get a better cooler.
 
When you get the processor, look at the label on the box. The product code (top of the label) will end in SLACR if it's a G0, or SLU9M if it's a B3. (On newer batches, this information will be detached to the right of the product code, and under the label "s-spec".) If you bought from any of the major online retailers, chances are more than likely that you'll get a G0.
