Not bad... :-)

Which OS do you have in mind?

Since hardware is chosen according to the software you want to run,
you need to say something about your intended use. That's why you see
Minimum Hardware Requirements (however inaccurate) on nearly all
software packages.

This might be sketchy, but here goes.

Sounds like you don't need much of a video card. Maybe anything that
supports two monitors. Two monitors are great, and recommended for
programming work. I use Visual C++ for my macro recorder hobby.
Apparently I can't use the debugger so I use DebugView. I do like
having that in the secondary monitor, along with performance
monitoring (I miss the Windows 9x System Monitor ultra-small
window), instant messaging, and other stuff.

I guess Visual Studio is heaviest on the CPU. Your selection of dual
core is IMO probably a very good idea (from the little I've gathered
so far), fast as possible. I think most programming is not memory
bandwidth intensive but I'm not sure. I would use 1 GB memory
modules if the price is less than 10 to 15% more than two 512 MB
modules. Ending up with 2 GB is okay IMO but you might want to leave
one slot open even with that. Just depends on how long you're going
to have the system. I think even Windows XP can handle 3 GB of RAM.

Good luck.
