I'd go for the 6600GT with128Mb RAM, it has faster clock and memory speeds than the vanilla flavour.
The 6600GT is quite a bargain actually, good little performer for the money.

You really won't notice an awful lot of difference apart from when multi-tasking. To buy a dual core CPU and then stick it in a budget board seems kinda counter-productive to me. I have an Asrock Dual sata2 board with an AMD 3200 64 in it, 2 x 256Mb and my old 9800Pro AGP vid card. It's my daughter's machine and runs great. But the Asus you've selected is a far superior motherboard.
