whats your maximum budget for this build and what games do you want to fiddle around with? if its new games, then first off the 9600gt will not cope with the requirements of todays games.

as said before, get a better video card if you are going to be gaming.

if you're not gaming, this would be a decent basic build and should run everyday operations.
