how do these choices look? anything wrong about it?
 
Probably want to go for PC3200 on the RAM. Also realize that the IC7 doesn't have an onboard network card like the rest of the Abit Canterwood/Springdale series. Other than that great set up.
 
Go for an Abit IC7-G, and get at least PC3200. If you plan on OCing, go for 3500, 3700 or *drool* PC4000.
 
I wouldn't go for the 3GHZ Processor either, save some money, grab a 2.8GHZ processor, overclock it a little bit using some quality PC3500 memory and take it to 3GHZ....faster, cheaper, and more efficient! BTW, no reason to get an IC7-G unless you need the extra and slower (compared to the ICH5R) SATA connectors, onboard LAN (separate card for 10 bucks), or the included ATA to SATA converter. I would get a 2.8GHZ P4, Abit IC7, 2x256MB Corsair PC3200 or PC3500, and maybe an Antec Sonata case (very quiet).
