These three items are better than what you have listed...

Enhance ENP-5150GH 500W

BIOSTAR TForce965PT (500 FSB+)

BUFFALO Firestix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (Some of these kits are coming with D9GMH's; others with highly-binned ProMOS... which in my opinion, are better than most D9GMH)

Are you planning on overclocking?

No, not really. I just want a stable system.

Do you have more info on that Enhance PS? Comparing the 12v rails to the Hiper, the Hiper puts out a bit more amperage.

Hiper 580W Review

Ratings don't mean much when those ratings aren't held...

There's no power factor correction, the efficiency is mediocre and the 360W available on the combined 12V rails is nothing to write home about, so the score is affected accordingly.

Although I didn't find any reviews on the Enhance ENP-5150GH, it should be noted as being listed as Tier 2 on the XS Tiered PSU Manufacturer Brand Listing.

I'd consider it common knowledge that the Enhance ENP-5150GH has been the PSU to have in the sub-$100 range...

Cool beans

Thanks for the information. I have been out of the loop for a while now.

Like I said, I would switch out the RAM, too.

The BUFFALO stuff uses D9GMH/ProMOS IC's, and the G.Skill PK you had chosen out uses ProMOS only. Get the BUFFALO - you win either way; whether you get highly-binned ProMOS or some good ol' D9GMH... whereas with the G.Skill you have a 100% chance of getting ProMOS and ProMOS only.
