Little bit of help building my system...

I have most of the basics down to building a system.
This will be my third desktop that I'll be building.
I just wanted to run this info through and see if it seems good.

I already have a case - LOGISYS Computer DRACULA CS602BK ATX Mid Tower with a 480W Power Supply. My wife bought me the case for my birthday, so I don't want to get rid of it for her sake! I also have my hard drives and DVD drive.

Here is what I want to put into it:
Motherboard: DFI nF4 Ultra-Infinity Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester 2.2GHz Socket 939 Dual Core Processor Model ADA4200BVBOX

Memory: OCZ Value Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model OCZ4001024V25DC-K

Video: SAPPHIRE 100106L Radeon X850XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card

Anyone see anything that would conflict or looks off? I'm trying to stay under $550 and this setup will allow me to do so.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
I would allso say that you should build it on a AM2 socket. And some better RAM, maby 800.
The Graphic card will do.
 
Alright so maybe one of these changes to the motherboard:

ABIT KN9 ULTRA Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - $109.99
-
BIOSTAR TForce 6100 AM2 Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX RoHs compliant AMD Motherboard - $74.99
-
BIOSTAR TFORCE4 AM2 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX RoHs compliant AMD Motherboard - $72.99

Is the more expensive one even worth it with these motherboards?


And for RAM - how does this look instead:

OCZ S.O.E 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Unbuffered System Memory Model OCZ2SOE8001G - $116.99
-$10 more expensive than the DDR 400's
-Will I notice the difference with the increased RAM performance?
