I think it's a very good computer for a cheap price
I'll buy a gforce 7900GT to go with it . What do you think ?

If you do that your going to have to buy a new powersupply cause the one in there might not be powerful enough for a 7900GT. Or you could save some money and build your own and wait tell the end of July cause Conroes coming out and all the prices on processors are going to be reduced,
 
Looks alright, but a few things:

The hard drive has a pathetic 2mb cache.
Ethernet is a bit outdated in terms of speed
Its BTX, which is almost unused
Graphics is bad (but you're replacing that)
PSU is probably crap (replace that too)

If you want to buy it, that comp should be OK, but building would be much better.

it aint a great system its an ok system cause of the graphics and the harddrive with 2 mb of cache you would be able to build one better than that for the same amount or less and it would be alot better with faster memory and a better harddrive and better graphics card.
