Are you planning on running Mountain Lion or?
 
You might want to list the items rather than links in your post. Not thinking too many people are willing to click seven links and make a list just to answer your questions...
 
Welcome to the cheap side of town A bunch of us run rigs with similar hardware and they work well. I'm running mountain lion on a cheap msi sandy board and it's great. Video cards are always a pain but give it a shot. It does have atheros lan so you may need a kext but it will work.
