how is this setup, i would like to keep it around 600 or less not including os/shipping/tax.
https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/M...px?ID=13072706

It would be for just general computing, nothing intense. (plan to go dual monitors in future)

Any recommendations/ improvements i can make?

(idk if it is working or not so i copy and pasted it in)

Why bother with the 9500GT? Find a used 8800 G92 based card used. I got my 9600GSO 384MB GDDR3 for 35$ used.
 
If you aren't planning on playing games with this build, go with a motherboard with onboard video instead.

For $5, get the Samsung F3 500GB single platter drive -- its as fast as the 3200AAKS, IMO.
