Everything seems ok beside the GFX card. If you are gaming a lot then at least buy the 8800GTS 320.

The GFX card should run your old favourites without too much issue as far as I am aware.
No need to spend double your budget on getting teh uber r0xors card to milk a few more FPS in older games.
If it's new games, you'll just have to turn the settings down... quite a bit 
I think that card performs like the x1950 i've got, which is fine and dandy for things like CSS, COD2 etc.
Not everyone requires 400 fps to play a bog standard shooter, and not everyone has money to burn for the best of the best of the best cards - otherwise buying advice would be redundant, we'd all just plug for the most expensive new parts about instead.

So I can go for the 8600? as I don't really need more than 100 fps in CSS, and
I don't really need it all maxed out, it's a quick entry for me now and I can
upgrade the graphics card at a later stage.
This will not cost me much either

Don't get any DX10 graphics card unless it will be able to max out DX9 graphics without problems..
The 8600GT is a bit better than a 7600GT, neither will be able to play new games full blast with DX9, let alone 10, so get a cheaper, DX9 for equivalent pricing, but it will be faster because it's not DX10.
EDIT: Just checked out the website..it looks like there is a very limited selection of cards, your best bet is the 8600GT after all lol.. _________________

Actually I went to a local store, instead of an online, they have everything there,
so I'm buying tomorrow 
But, the graphics card changed to HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT, But it's 512 MB Ram and IceQ instead
will that do?? Though I'm worried about the powersupply, it's only 400W

A good power supply is not just Watt but more Ampere on the 12V rails. Good power supplies come from Tagan, Enermax, Seasonic (Corsair) and OCZ.

you can run an 8800GTX off a 450W PSU so I should think so...
