P182, I'd do the 610 (good price per amp), card you have is the best if you can afford it.
Looks good to me.

Might as well do 1066 if it's cheap. Even if you run it at lower FSB speeds, you can get tighter timings.

OCZ's rebates are really bad. If you can spare the money pre-rebate, I'd do it, but don't necessarily count on getting the rebate back. It'll get you a lot more headroom for overclocking though :)
edit: try this!!! same price with no rebate required, not 1066 but 4-4-4-12 timings that can be loosened to get up to 1066!

Well, the Reaper does 5.5-5.5-5.5-18.
Basically, there's a correlation between timings and speed. You can loosen timings (4-4-4-12 to 5-5-5-15, for example) and get higher speed (which you want to do when overclocking the CPU) or you can tighten timings and get lower speed (which you want to do if you've topped out in FSB speed for the CPU overclock). The Reaper is tested 1066, but has pretty damn loose timings. The RAM I linked is only 800 but has very tight timings and probably will go up to 1066! If not, you can loosen the timings. So I'd get the kind I linked. Now, if the Reaper was 4-4-4-12 and 1066, then it would be worth it. Right now, though, they're pretty much exactly the same.
