For a 'next gen' gaming system, I'd suggest 2gb RAM, a better PSU (500w minimum as word on the street is that the next round of graphics cards are gonna be even greedier than the current ones), and swap that graphics card for an x1900xt. It will give you some more scope in shader intensive games (eg Oblivion) to last you til the DX10 cards.

2 x 512MB. Once you can afford more, get another set of 2 x 512MB (get the exact same set if at all possible). The command rate will drop to 2T, but the only time that will hurt you is in benchmarks. There is a negligable real world performance drop with a 2T command rate.
