Anyway, I see u finally started your own thread T-Zero. That's good. Now so far that board looking good. Coming from wanting a HP blackbird though, I see it as a huge waste to get a 8600GT to put in the system. Get a nice solid 8800 Series. The GT is still hard to come by, but the new G92 GTS are a little better for a little more money. I'd get two if you can afford it. (You should be able to if you wanted a Blackbird).
AS for RAM, go with nothing less than 4GB. I say stick with 2gb x 2. 1gb x 4 is old school now. Should be able to get a nice pair for under 100 bucks now. Gskill works fine for me, but i don't mind Corsair or Kingston. I usually go for price and reviews for ram selection. 4-4-4-12 timings should sum up your ram choice.
Processor-wise I think that looks like an Intel board. Didn't really check. WHat you planning to go with Quad or Dual core?
