If you think this ram is the best vote 1 RAM: http://www.computeralliance.com.au/parts.aspx?qryPart=2679 (dual channeled)
RAM 2: http://www.computeralliance.com.au/parts.aspx?qryPart=3214 (dual channeled)
RAM 3: http://www.computeralliance.com.au/parts.aspx?qryPart=4488 (this is just a big stick of 1 gig)

Now for Graphics Cards

The Gigabyte video card has a higher clock rate which means it's faster, but doesn't have a fan on top. So wierd. I would get the Gigabyte one.

I guess out of those choices of RAM, the Geil one looks fine. There are better choices than that, but probably at a higher cost.

Should i get the gig stick or the two 512's to dual channel?

Get 2 of them and put them in dual channel. It's the best RAM configuration.

The kingmax is 433mhz, the geil is 400. Dont u think i should go with the kingmax?

Are you using an Intel or AMD motherboard? AMD motherboards generally use PC3200 while Intel go nuts with all kinds of different speeds.

Amd

Shit maybe it cant take PC3500...Ill have to check.

I would stick with the PC3200 (Geil RAM in your link) for best compatibility. I'm using the PC3200 as well. You won't regret it. It's pretty good.
