Yeah, that should work. Stock cooler should be fine since you could typically not overclock on a proprietary motherboard. If the fan tends to be noisy during gaming, consider a better fan from SilenX or just replace the whole cooler with a better one from Arctic Cooling, Scythe, Thermalright, Zalman, etc.

Well what cpu do you want? i recommend a e750 for that price range.
Change the psu, since it can break everything in your case buy a corsair 520w
memory is fine
graphics is fine, although an 8800gt is much better
