Upgrading, AGAIN!!!

Sweet, building a computer for a friend and decided to give him some of my parts, and he agreed.
-Asus A7N8X Deluxe 1.04
-2x256MB Samsung PC3200 RAM
-MAYBE my ATI 9500 PRO, if I can find a 9500nonpro with red-pcb l-shaped mem.
-My OLD XP2100+
-OLD PowMax 400W PSU
-OLD Thermaltake Volcano 7+

So I decided I myself will be earning an upgrade with this
-ABIT NF7-S 2.0 from excaliberpc.com
-GeiL 2x256 PC3500 Golden Dual Channel RAM from newegg.com [b]NOT SURE ABOUT THE RAM, CAN SOMEONE GIVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ANOTHER RAM EXCEPT OCZ (too expensive) - WHAT ABOUT CORSAIR XMS??
-ZALMAN ZM-80C VGA Cooler (http://www.xoxide.com/zazmvgaheco.html)
-Hopefully a ATI 9500 nonpro if I can find it (please help me out here, anybody know of any stores selling these?)
-MAYBE WESTERN DIGITAL 60GB 7200RPM EIDE HARD DRIVE MODEL# WD600JB 8MB Buffer
-Some Blue Led fans and a cold cathode light (all neon blue) from www.xoxide.com
-A FAN CONTROLLER!! (can someone show me a friggin normal rheobus, not those gay rainbow, 8 color ones that make me seem like I support dykes and gays).

Check here to look for un-gay Rheobus....

I was looking at xoxide and this one http://www.xoxide.com/nexfanconnx.html looked like it was legit
