That looks like a very nice computer. But i would wait tell the end of July cause AMD is going to be cutting there prices on there processors and your processor that you picked out should go down in price alot. Also Conroes coming out in July and its supposed to be a very good proceessor and not very expensive either so if you want to go Intel do that. But if you just want to stick to this build then its fine and thats a very nice videocard but if you dont want to spend that much just get a 7900GTX it will be just fine for gaming and it is a little cheaper.
 
for the price to performance ratio you could take a step down on the GFX card to get a better CPU, maybe a 7900GTX instead, the 7950 is cracking but a costly item for what you get. a 7900gtx would easily do everything for now and then SLI in another at a later date for just as good performance
 
Yes i agree downgrade the video card to a 7900gtx or even a gt and get a 4200 or 4400. then later sli the video card. and the AM2 is definently a great choice but when conroe amd will be forced to lower prices. so if you can wait wait until then. and maybe you could afford a x2 4400 and a 7950.
 
I've been waiting almost a year for my old computer to brake so I can have a new computer :D ,waiting for a couple more months is no problem :)
