    I'm planning to buy the following mother board;

    What I need is a confirmation that all of the following parts will work with it.

    They will work, however, I suggest a power supply of 500+ Watts, the 430 may not be sufficient.

    The EA430 is of far better quality than that hec PSU, and is able to supply upto 30A on the +12V rails combined, a lot more than the majority of other sub-500W PSUs I have seen. You can run an HD 4850 off it without problems.

    As for the motherboard, the UD3R is a better choice owing to the better PCB and northbridge cooling, both of which will aid overclocking. Also, ASUS mobos are usually more picky about RAM, but that is based purely on my experience, so your mileage may vary.

    No you're right rage, I've had 3 Asus mobos, all picky about ram, I've probably returned 4-5 ram kits because of the boards.
