What else besides watching movies will you be doing? I would say if this is just a family computer for surfing the web, watching some movies, word processing and regular day to day stuff, then your processor is probably overkill. You could just get an E8400 and a 9600GT. Overclocking and good GPU's are only necessary for high performance tasks like gaming or video editing/rendering. For the uses that you have indicated you will be using it for, you could probably build a PC for $600 and then spend all that money you save on a nice big monitor/HDTV (which you could hook up to your computer) for watching your movies.
