    Excellent build. All you need now is some RAM... :)

    Corsair are in my opinion the best RAM manufacturer, or one of. Crucial are not.
    I strongly recommend getting all your RAM now as that allows you to use a matched 2x2GB set, which will run better and allow for much better overclocking than 4x1GB, which you'll end up if you buy your RAM in two halves (they don't sell single 2GB sticks of decent memory).
    2x2GB really isn't that expensive at the moment.
