I have around $400-500 to spend on RAM, or a better CPU, or something else... Any recommendations before I order my parts tomorrow?

Motherboard - Gigabyte DS3 $134.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128012
RAM - ? I want something really fast
Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 $79.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148144
Video Card - SAPPHIRE Radeon x1900GT $149.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102022

Sound Card - Creative Sound Blaster X Fi XtremeMusic $92.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102188
Total: Under 1K
Objective
;I want a PC that will play my Anime with the best picture quality and sound.
;*Music is the main factor here.
;Casual gaming; I want to run FEAR at max settings, though I mostly play free MMORPGs (ie: Anything that comes from Asia).
;The computer has to be deadly fast within price range from boot-time to multi-tasking whatever.
;Runs on stock cooling; but I want at least 3GHz from CPU. Is that possible?
Couple of Notes
-E6300 is the cheapest Conroe chip. With the leftover money, I could get the more expensive ones.
-DS3; cheap and it has all the things I need. I'm not going to do SLI/xFire nor Raid setups.
-I have no clue on what RAM to get. I just want the fastest one that my motherboard/CPU can handle. If I spend most of my leftover money on this, I'm sticking with the E6300.
-The Seagate 250Gigs is more than enough space.
-Sapphire x1900GT; I chose it because it comes with a free game.
-The nMEDIAPC case is my preference. I like how it looks.
-580W is more than enough, or maybe overkill. But it's cheap and it's modular.
-Went with the HannsG monitor. I want the best picture for the price.
-XFi XtremeMusic for the best audio.
I need RAM recommendations.
Thanks!
