I'm upgrading what I currently have, after four or so years, my PC just isn't running as smooth as it used to, OS upgrades and reformats just don't have effect.
I plan on getting a new Mobo, PSU, CPU, HDD, and RAM, as I'll need DDR3.
For my CPU and Motherboard I selected:

Seems like a good deal, been told great things, read great things.
For my HDD I picked: (CHANGED)

I need the space, I've got my 500gb full to the brim, and a 250 external HDD with 15gb left.
PSU: (CHANGED)

Dunno. Good reviews, fair price.
RAM:

The biggest question here is: What are you going to use the computer for?
If it's for gaming, you'll probably need a better graphics card too. And post your current computer specs.

I'm pretty sure you don't need 3/6/9 gb of RAM, that sounds more like triple channel.
That motherboard you want is dual channel, and you should be fine with just 4gb (2x2gb sticks).
I think, might want to get someone else to confirm that.
if you're upgrading it's somewhat helpful to know what you're upgrading from
I have a Intel Dual Core e6600 I think it is, 2.6gHz. I'm going to be using it for multimedia, and gaming, not extreme, mostly BFBC2. I still need RAM.

Try to get a quad core. BFBC2 is somewhat CPU intensive.

Yes, an i5-760
I linked an i5-760 in the OP.
Which is Quad-Core.

Anyone think anything about that RAM?
You could get another computer for 800.

And my PSU, that fails on boot, so I need to keep turning it on. I feel like I'm jupmstarting a car.
Oh yeah, what is your graphics card?
Gtx 260

Nothing, Happy with it.

GTX 260 is still relatively powerful. Should pair nicely with the i5.
