For that money you should have an 8800GT at least. Personally i dont think you need to spend the money on the quad core because the dual cores perform good enough at the moment. You could also save some more money for the better GPU by getting a 19" LCD rather than 20. I have a 19" and its perfect. You should try and build a balanced pc, reason i say this is because you have a not so good mobo and gpu, and you are going for the more expensive cpu and ram.
I would recommend going for a dual core, corsair xms2 800mhz, 680i mobo, and an 8800gt, build the rest around that and you should have a pretty decent machine
