Only a very limited edition of the 80GB PS3 can perform the features you listed. No offence, but if you don't do your research before splashing out $400 you're a fool.
Have you been overclocking? If so, reset that and go up in smaller increments, running Prime each time for at least half an hour (then the full 8 hours when you reach your final clock).
If you haven't clocked, the problem may well be that your RAM is undervolted. Find out what the stock volts ought to be for that RAM, and make sure that your motherboard is running at them. I don't know about Asrocks, but all Gigabyte boards default the RAM voltages to 1.8v. My RAM needs at least 2.0v to run smoothly, meaning that the first thing I needed to do on building my PC was to bump that by .2v. Find out what your motherboard does (shoud say in the BIOS or instructions) and what your RAM requires. Also, make sure that it is running the CPU at the correct voltage.
Looks fine, although bear in mind that you'll need some DDR2 RAM - I assume that your current RAM is just DDR. Also, I would still go for a different motherboard, that Intel one won't clock well. What's wrong with the one that I suggested? It's cheaper and a better board!!
