Building New 64bit System: What Ya Think?

[silverwolf636]

I've decided to build a new system. I been doing a lot of compatibility searches with little luck. I don't have a bunch of money to put into it but here is what I've been looking at. I have been very happy with Ubuntu 10.04 lts Lucid 32-bit version and thought I would install the 64-bit version on this. All of this is from newegg.com
I would like your input on this system. Are there any compatibility problems here?

Someone brought a couple of things to my attention. With that I'm setting up another system. The only thing I wish I could've thrown out a couple more dollars for is that the USB be 3.0 instead of 2.0. I took the AM2/AM3 to only AM3, DDR2 to DDR3 and a mini ATX to and an ATX. Well, here it is:

The motherboard includes an Integrated ATI Radeon HD4200, with HDMI output. You could consider just using it with no additional video card -- or get a motherboard with no on-board video. I have a 9400 GT video card, and it's fine.

If you go to this web page:
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=LVmksAnszmVimOOp&content=specifications

you can download the "memory qualified vendor list." I suggest you stick to memory from that list. What you have chosen will probably work, but it's safer to stick to "qualified" memory.

After taking everyones replies I've came up with the following system. I even went to ASUS and checked compatibility.

According to newegg I can build this system for $313.96.
I'm going to install Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 64-bit on it.
Thanks for the help gang.
