just a couple of questions, one is everything compatible, two is there anything I should change, any critism is welcomed. ( im worried about the memory, I know theres something I could get thats a lot better but im not too sure abou the difference ( all my prices come from pccanada.com if any of you could find a good ram pack id really appreciate it, and im highly thinking of changing the psu)

Personally I'm not a fan of Maxtor HDs, personally would go with a Hitachi or Seagate. I also don't like enermax PSUs, and I think that PSU is a little small, I'd personally go with OCZ, Antec or Fortron of 500W or better. Why are you getting a lan card, when the board has built in ethernet? and I would consider a monitor with a DVI Port
 
K heres the final result :/

FYI the OCZ powerstream 520w is far superior to the 520w modstream. Same manufacturer, both rated at 520w but NOT the same PSU.
