It should be, but to be certain you can always read the instruction sheet that came with the motherboard.

Case: Any AT case should be compatible with motherboards made in the last 3 years. If you are only planning on using one hard drive, you might be fine to use a mid-tower. Full tower cases look more intimidating, but are also harder to carry.

Power Supply: Looks good, you may need the extra wattage to run the cooling system and lots of USB peripherals in addition to your hard drive and graphics card.

Cooling: Liquid cooling system is a must if you plan to do overclocking.

RAM: 2 Gig is good to run Windows Vista on, or for intensive use of Windows XP (like 3D graphics applications or certain 3D rendered games). If it will be Windows Vista, you may need more RAM later on (especially if you run several multimedia applications at startup or .want state of the art 3D graphics and games on Vista).
