[Yes]

RAM is dirt cheap, there's no reason to just get 512 MB. I've heard mixed reviews about the 8600, if you do any newer gaming in Windows I would try and get an 8800 GT, they're really cheap now.

Other than that it looks great.

and i think i might be able to get 1.5gb worth of corsair

[fedex1993]

i would recommend getting +1gb of ram just seems to run better :)

[Sneaky07]

I would highly recommend you get DDR3 RAM. Also they have DDR3 RAM for video cards too. Plus you'll be able to upgrade easier too.

there are ddr5 video cards out now there thinking of updating the video cards to 2gigs worth

[barbedsaber]

why do you need to overclock a 3.2Ghz cpu?

[god0fgod]

So it won't include Windows and you will just use Wine?

Get more ram, at least 2GB
Rather get a XFX 9600GT gfx card

960$ sounds VERY expensive. Is that US$? Which country do you live in if not US$?

[Moustacha]

Get more ram, at least 2GB
Rather get a XFX 9600GT gfx card
or any other brand 9600GT. MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the 8600GT (well, 2x better in most cases) and it's relatively dirt cheap compared to other cards now.
