Actually with the nForce2 motherboard chipset, the two sticks will make you go faster than one single 512 stick. Also, I've got the MSI K7N2G-L motherboard (integrated graphics -- I'm cheap), and in my opinion its onboard sound is sufficient for gaming and audio, unless you're an audiophile who's gonna get high-end speakers (I use high-end headphones, and I can't notice a difference between my onboard sound and that from an Audigy). Also, on the hard drive, that's a good drive for a good price, but check your local weekly circulars for Best Buy and CompUSA and especially OfficeMax, they run some pretty sick hard drive deals (if you're willing to wait for a mail-in rebate). Other than that, all great choices, especially on the processor. I love my XP2500, and I overclocked it to 2040mhz with the stock heatsink and stock voltage, and my temperatures at load are still sub-50C. (Again--I'm cheap)
