looks nice, but I have never heard of gigaram so I'd play it safe and get the ram from a quality manufacturer.
Here are some good ones, just a little more expensive.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146950 (this is ddr433 but even if the mobo doesn't support faster than ddr400 it should work fine [with the ddr400 speeds ofcourse])
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146883 (just look at the latencies)

ValueRam is cheaper, but it won't let u oc anywhere near to where these ones can go.

right now im not looking to OC just yet, just want to build a nice computer, setup my network, and get everthing secure, before i OC but would like to try it out down the road

i thought gigaram was name brand, thanks for the advice i will consider it!

anyone have any other suggestions i still need a PS case and maybe a tv tuner???
