It would be nice if you listed what the parts are. Some people aren't going to want to have to click seven links to figure out what you're considering. ;)
 
Everything looks good except the PSU. Thermaltake PSU's are notoriously unreliable (except the Toughpower line). Shell a bit extra for the Xclio 500w for like $50. Although I'd spend some more and get a FSP brand or similar.

Also that heatsink/fan is a PWM controlled one. I'm not sure if it'll work with that motherboard or not, maybe someone else can check that out though.

ROFL. AM2 performs best with DDR2-800. And if I had $750, I'd borrow a few bux and go with this instead:

$181 - Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz
$100 - Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express (review)
$175 - G.Skill 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-533 F2-4200PHU2-2GBNV
$200 - SAPPHIRE 100176L Radeon X1950PRO 256MB
$58 - Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3160811AS 160GB 7200RPM SATA300 8MB Cache
$40 - XClio 450BL ATX 450W
===========
$754 + tax and shipping (after rebates)

Here's why:

enginurd has a good idea in the core 2 but its your choice. I would at least stretch for a dual core

Every thing looks good just find a new PSU.
