AMD Phenom X4 940 Black Edition and Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H

I was looking for an upgrade from my current P.O.S ECS motherboard and old E2220 processor and I came across this combination:
940 Black Edition: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product
Gigabyte Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813128408
I want a quad for my games because every new game seems more and more processor dependent and I always fall behind with my E2220.
I have all the other things besides an OS (I'll have to reformat with this new mobo for XP 64-bit, but I'll probably get Windows 7 later).
This upgrade look niceee? I have 2GB of 667mhz DDR2, am I able to overclock it to fit the motherboards minimum requirement of 800mhz ram? Or should I buy new ram too?
Thanks,
Evasion.
