1. Yes, it will run games in future but just get 4GB ram.
2. Nvidia go up to 9800. And you want at least 3.6 ghz 4 gig of ram or more..
3. you dont need the quad core unless you are doing massive miltitasking or you need something to appease your testosterone level. put in a E8500 Wolfdale and a 4870 GPU...
4. It seems you have two power supplies, one included with your case and one separate. Also, two 8600GTs is a strange choice. You'd be better off getting one higher-end card. For one thing, that would let you later upgrade the system by getting a second graphics card.
5. No it won't run new games on high . Try switching to a Crossfire board and go 2x ati 4850 crossfire or 4870 or 1x 4870x2. or 2x 8800GT SLI or 9600GT SLI. 2x 8600 in SLI is less peroformance then 1 ati 4850. Obviously you have the powersupply go up to a higher end card.
