Now that is just for now. Eventualy after Core2's Drop (Although this is gonna be a few months from now so it may happen inbetween then) And DX10 Matters i would upgrade.
Is that a good Machine for Now?

Don't even bother with a Pentium D; if you're planning on upgrading to a Core2 eventually, just stick with a p4 now (I use the p4 at 3.2 on one of my machines and it works great for all of today's games). Also, it would be in your best interest to get a motherboard and processor that use the LGA775 socket, as that's what most of the Core2's also use.

Well i think The PD is better because of Dual Core and im Running LOTS of programs at once. And the Price gap is pretty close (Bout 20$)

The Pentium D doesn't use the same socket as a Core2 Duo, the p4 does. The Pentium D was little more than a failed experiment in dual core processing and I think the p4 may actually give you better performance.

Well It says LGA775 and The Mobo http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813121035\ Says "CPU Type Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium D / Celeron" ..

P4, PD, and C2D use 775. It is the chipset that determines what can run and what can't. I don't think Intel uses anything other than 775 right now (except with servers)

If I were you I'd ditch that PSU for this one...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153023

I have it, it's a wonderful budget PSU, and it's by a highly recommended brand for PSU's...

As for the rest of your rig, it's pretty good, but I wouldn't throw my money away on a Pentium D, I would just put that torward a C2D, paying 120$ for the PD, then getting a C2D, is a waste of money, IMO...

Well, I didn't recommend that one, becuase he seems to be on a pretty tight budget, and thats 60$ more then the one I recommended...
