The memory is fine

it all works , and is a good choice for photo edtting

dont get hung up on 4870 brands . All the models with the reference cooler are the exact same thing with a different sticker on them .

Since you are indicating Photo Editing, it is recommended to get an IPS screen rather than a TN one. Though the question is if this would fit in your budget:

HP LP2475w Black / Silver 24" 6 ms (GTG); 12ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor - $534.99

You got good choice of hardware over all, apart from the monitor I would defiantly go for a better make [ i.e Samsung/Asus]
