Raidmax power supplies are really bad, an antec power supply would be much better for example. If you picked out a good power supply, 500W would be more than enough unless you got a better video card. The 8600GT doesn't make very good use of 512MB ram since it's not all that fast, a HD3850 would be much faster and costs roughly the same. I've compiled a reference list of parts that cost less than $600 and are a lot more stable and fast overall than the parts you picked out (I'm assuming you don't need an OS, is that the case?) :
