I would get a 8800gs instead of a 8600gt. It is considerably faster and is well worth the price increase.

Since you want to run a quad I would get a better power supply. A Corsair 550vx would provide plenty of power for your system.

If you don't plan on overclocking get this Q6600 that comes with a cpu cooler.
