Looks okay, nothing earth shattering though. Bid out of the loop with 
Graphics cards... is the NVIDIA GT120 and GT130 any good? IT seems to be 
  a bit low-end.

I'm not (hopefully) gonna be replacing my Mac Pro any time soon but I 
have got to build another games rig because the Mac Pro can't cut it at 
the top with a single GeForce 8800GT any more.

I still stand by the fact that Apple woulkd eat 20-30% of Dell and HPs 
market share if they released a semi-competitively priced, games 
oriented system below the Mac Pro. A rig with SLI or CrossFire and twin 
PCIe x16 2.0 slots and 2 hard drive bays and a single optical drive in a 
nice aluminium case.
