memory-could go up to a higherspeed but not really neccesary
cooling-not sure WHY but they say that its intel pentium d/4/celeron compatiable. Not sure why it would matter cuz they are all socket 774 just pointing it out
blueray drive-dont see why it wouldnt be compatible
 
Just to start, you do know that alot of those parts are outta stock right? (cpu cooler, power supply to name a few).

Mobo, spend the extra to get a good brand and its 750i chipset so you can add another 8600gt down the road to sli if you want:

Also, i dont see why you wouldnt wanna spend the extra couple bucks and get a quadcore:

This is a very good power supply and is in stock:

You can get a 90gb bigger hdd for a little more:

On a budget, the freezer 7 is prolly the best "cheap" cpu cooler.
