Switch your chip for the e8400...runs cooler and uses less power (5 bucks more on newegg).

PSU: I would never buy that one...look for something from Seasonic, corsair, or PC Power n cooling.

Memory: Get 2x2gb of DDR2 1066.

Is this the chip you are speaking of?

RaidMax Power Supply = Cheap Junk. I also recommend at least a 650 watt power supply for your video card.

If you want a real power supply, then consider one of the following brands, models:

Seasonic - any model
Corsair - any model
Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only
Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only
PC Power & Cooling - any model
Silverstone - any model
