What kind of games are you going to be playing? If you want to play current + future demanding games without having to upgrade maybe look into a stronger video card. There's nothing wrong with the 9800gt, but for running 1680x1050 and future proofing you may want to look for something a bit stronger, perhaps an Nvidia gtx260 or ati radeon hd4870.
 
A 9800gt will run those no problem...but if you want to be more "future proofed" then check out some more powerful cards.

Either way that's a good gaming system

Enjoy:)
 
I would still look at upgrading the Video card, even a jump to a GTX 260 probably wouldn't be all that much more and worth it.
 
I hope that PC you've got was much cheaper than the one from Centaurus Computers (which is $977 with free shipping). Nvidia 7050 is so underpowered compared to Gigabyte P45 that comes with Virgo, and standard overclock for E8400 with Freezer 7 would be around 4Ghz - try to find that now. 9800GT usually are superclocked (EVGA or MSI). Dare I say it's 25% speed gap between these 2 computers, like I said, I hope the price is 25% lower too.
