  Have you not updated your game recently? There is no 'total' roll at the bottom.
  
  I assume you are wanting to dual-class into mage later on? Ideally you want an 18 in both Dex and Con as well as in Str. An 18 in Int won't go wrong either.
  
  If as well as the above you can get more than 18/60 in Str you'll appreciate it at the start of the game.

  For a fighter, you want:
  
  18/XX STR (try and get over 18/50)
  18 DEX
  18 CON
  
  Keep everything else at 10 or above. INT & WIS are useless for fighters. CHA is only good for favorable NPC reactions (f you're too damn ugly some party members may refuse to join outright) & small vendor discounts.

  Ok Brude, I'm going with this build for new character too, when's the earliest I should duel to Mage to play both BG1&2 ?

  I'm not Brude but generally the favoured places to stop gaining Fighter levels are as follows;
  
  Level 7 - Extra APR
  Level 9 - Extra Weapon Proficiency
  Level 13 - Extra APR
  
  It really depends how long you are willing to wait to get your Fighter levels back.

  Not too late if you want to play in BG1 as a mage and not a high-Int fighter.
  Perhaps as soon as level 3, though that gives very little aside from equipment options in BG2. Level 7 would be much better, but it's very awkward to do in BG1.
  
  To be honest, I think if you want to play a double class character for the whole saga you're better off multiclassing.
