I agree 100% with this choice over the one that you listed. There is IMHO, no comparison in the quality of the two.

I would get a bigger hdd (rather than 80 gig) and add a second one if you can find room in your buget, all computers should have 2 just for backup, IMHO.

Again, I have to agree on this one. For example, I have two Sata drives and two IDE hard drives so I am never without a backup or cloned drive. If something goes wrong, change drives and away you go.

You don't need heatspreaders for the ram there junk and I think they actually trap heat, the value select will be great as long as you don't plan to OC

I can't believe that Doby and I agree on everything in one thread. I have heat spreaders for my Pentium 4 and they are just a waste IMHO. I look at that like a "selling" point more than having actual value....so, save your money. I can't actually say that I can prove they generate more heat, but I do know that they don't get rid of it either from my experience and testing. At least in my setup, that is what I have found.
