Get this 2GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 1000mhz Ram, I just ordered some for my new build... it's amazing ram, overclocks like a beast!
I don't know if a 8800GTX is worth it... by the time Crysis comes out, we'll probably be in the second generation of DX10 cards, so perhaps you want to look into getting a 320mb GTS, and upgrade around the Holidays this year. You probably want a P35 chipset, as they will be supporting the upcoming "penryn" 45nm processors from Intel... although, they don't support SLI, so you might want to go with a 68/50i motherboard. You're probably going to want to get a new powersupply - these Corsair powersupplys have been getting awesome reviews... Other reputable powersupply brans are: FSP, Enermax... Of course, any Core 2 Duo will meet your needs... an e6420 would fit the bill nicely.
