What should i be able to see nicely on a clear, non light polluted night?

Short answer: More than you could give adequate study to in a lifetime!

Longer answer: The Moon, all the planets (now that Pluto has been demoted), several moons of Jupiter and Saturn, all of the Messier objects and a good chunk of the NGC catalog. That should get you started. It will probably also give you a bad case of aperture fever!
