Well, i already commented on it in a previous topic where you posted this, swap the awful Geforce 8400 for a 8800GT, considering your already paying up an awful lot, why not pay 50 more and ensure it lasts a much longer time then having a bottleneck card in your System.
Other then that, yeah its fine. Though who's paying the energy bill for that? :P

you need a new graphics card dude, I'm sorry but if you're getting a new gaming rig and you've got an 8400 that's not too good. I'd recommend getting an 8800 GT at least and if you want (although you might be strapped for cash after buying this computer) go up to an 8800 GTS/X

NUH-UH Do not buy the GTS at all, leave that one be, unless its the new 8800GTS 512MB, the 640MB and 320MB versions are straight rubbish, the 8800GT itself is both cheaper, yet more powerful then the GTS, only the GTS 512MB Excells the 8800GT by a fair margin.
Atleast, that is here in Europe, wherever i looked, their selling the 8800GTS 640-320MB for around 50-100 euro's more then the 8800GT, while its obvious the GT kicks their arses with just a bit more power, let alone that its price/power ratio is alot higher.
GTX is possible aswell, but the price is high and you dont get that much more power then the 8800GT, especially not looking at power/price for the GTX.
