This is good RAM. Saves you $20.00.

Looks good though. Nice budget build.

It'll be plenty fast too. =D

+1

However, if you want it to last 3 - 4 years, I suggest you spend extrato go for Phenom II x3 720, GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P, 2 x 2GB DDR3 RAM

He could always add a Phenom II later.
Those upgrades look like they'll blow his budget.

Looks solid to me.

Id recommend you go for this power supply also, as all the power is on one 12v rail vs spread over 2:

Your build is very similar to mine, you'll be happy with that build, great cpu, and mobo, the mobo is great becuase it also allows room to later upgrade to the newer DDR3 cpus. Nice Build

The GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P motherboard is very good. The AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core Kuma is a decent processor that is compatible with your chosen motherboard.

I would look at spending a little bit more money and get something a little bit better than the GIGABYTE GV-R435OC-512I Radeon HD 4350 video card.

Take a look at the MSI R4650-D512 Radeon HD 4650 Video Card for $63:
