Nforce2 isn't a chipset for P4's, they are only for AMD CPU's
As far as I'm concerned the only chipsets for P4 you should consider are i865 and i875p, 865(Springdale) is the low cost mainstream chipset and 875(Canterwood) is basicly the 865, but with PAT(Performance Accelerating Technology). However most boards maker have made there on PAT technology for 865 chipsets, so if your on a budget your not losing much performance by going iwth the 865. If you've got the money though go for the i875p, IMO
The RAM you got there is pretty good though look for a 2x512mb kit of RAM they sell which is a little bit cheaper
