Default Custom PC Parts Help

I understand how to put the computer together, but I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to picking out parts for the system. I just wanted to get some feedback for the parts that I selected for my machine. If you think something that I picked is bad please let me know why and suggest an alternative. If you suggest an alternative please try to keep it in the original parts price range. Any and all replies are much appreciated.

Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail (2x if you really need 4GB)

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-RX387512H Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling S610EPS EPS12V 610W Continuous @ 40°C Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, cUL, CE, CB, TUV - Retail
