P4 2.8C or 3.0C are the best buys from Intel right now (2.8C is a better buy IMO).

Corsair XMS, Kingston HyperX, Mushkin Level II would all be good choices. I'd get 2x512MB of PC3500 or better with the tightest timings you can find.

You might want to check out the Abit IC7-G though instead of the Asus...unless you've already done research on the Asus, you might want to read some stuff about the IC7-G and OCing.

Your system looks nice

With that motherboard, I would say get either a retail 2.8C, or a retail 3.0C. For ram, I'd say get some of this: Geil Golden Dragon, or if you have more money to blow, some of this: Corsair Low-latency.

BTW I have not purchased the mobo or vid card yet.

Then I would recommend an Abit IS7 mobo and a Sapphire 9800 Pro, to go with either a 2.8C or 3.0C. Here's some links for you: Abit IS7 and Sapphire 9800 Pro.

Would love to have some more input on my hardware choice.

i would get a i875 board instead (abit or asus)
the vid card looks alright (could go nvidia or ati in that price range)
as for the memory i would go for the really cheap geil pc3500 or get something with hynix chips (pc4200 if you want a high fsb/mem 1:1 overclock and got the money)
