CPU
$65 AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHz (Great budget dual-core for gaming and just about anything you can throw at it. If you're game for spending a bit over your proposed budget, go for the AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE.)

Hi clay109 Welcome to D-A-L
The RAM
$105 G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB DDR3 will NOT work on this Mboard
GA-MA770-UD3 (rev. 1.0) - GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Specification
It only supports DDR2 1200(Note 2)/1066/800/667 MHz memory modules
You don't say what Case you are using so make sure it's a
ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 21.0cm
Otherwise it you will have problems fitting the Mboard.
Other wise everything else should be OK.
What OS are you using?
If its the one with your present PC make sure the OS is its not OEM.
If it is OEM you could have problems using it on this set-up.
