Looks good, would maybe think about sound card though if its for music/games. Or another HDD...

All parts are compatible although you could squeeze dual core and/or AM2 into the budget if you wanted. Actually given the difference in prices for the same chip basically I wouldn't bother with AM2 here. I'd probably suggest something like this and you still have room in the budget.
