Before you pull the trigger, check out Amazon Warehouse Deals on popular dual channel kits of ram. You can easily get ram for half off while keeping the perks of purchasing from amazon if it is DOA.
Do the same thing with the case as well. Budget build, a case is a case but read the reviews on airflow.
I think if you grabbed another stick of 4gb ram, it would help your overall performance because Windows 7 takes up a good amount by itself. Try to get a two sticks that are sold together since they were tested together; something like this might work
I already posted my GPU and Motherboard (which has no onboard video btw), here is the rest of my build:

HD http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T3GRNW/ref=oh_details_o06_s01_i01
and for some reason I also tried installing my old HD with windows 7 to no avail
Would this work with my mobo? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003N8GVUY/ref=mp_s_a_6?qid=1343944261&sr=8-6
Just want to clarify, im building a desktop.
Also i juust look at the ramm specs and it say its 1.65 volts, is that too much? your link says that is the maximum.
are they better than these? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N8GVUY/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I've been looking around and I thought that maybe with a new processor and extra 8gb ram could get what I need.
Any thoughts?

You want 1.5V 1333Mhz DDR3. That board only supports 1333 (OC) and 1066 standard. 1666 should down clock and work.

And this would be the 1333MHz RAM https://www.amazon.de/Corsair-2x4GB-Desktop-Arbeitsspeicher-CMX8GX3M2A1333C9/dp/B003N8GVUY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464805563&sr=8-2&keywords=corsair+ram+ddr3
I dont really understand what you are asking, sorry english is not my native language.
I was checking this because through my research I found that 2x4GB is way better than single channel 8GB. And compared to the original one that I was setting to buy (this) it's more expansive even though its frequency is 1333Hz
So this http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-PC3-10666-240-Pin-Memory-CMX8GX3M2A1333C9/dp/B003N8GVUY is basically the exact same as the RAM on the list, but packaged as (2x4)? It's cheaper than buying two individual sticks.
I was thinking it must have been unusual, funny that 4 years old is "old tech" now. I can't find a link but according to CPU-Z its made by A-Data (PC2-6400, 400Mhz), CAS latency is 5 clocks and I have 3, 1Gb sticks.
I only have 32-bit Windows but I bought this RAM, just going to use one stick for now until I upgrade more.
