    Yes incredibly good, would replace the GTX280 with the HD4870 though.

    Its a really good one. must be expensive as most of those components are top of the line or really close to it.

    That’s a pretty good computer. All of the parts seem to be current, top of the line technology. Just make sure you can get a warranty of some sort with it, it makes it easier if a part needs to be replaced or something goes wrong with it. Seems like this system will serve you well for a few years, it should be able to do anything you throw at it.

    it’s as good as it gets. however, there are two places you can improve:

    graphics card: check http://www.tomshardware.com to see if an SLI or Crossfire setup will be better than the GTX 280 single card. Also, you may also wish to check to make sure the motherboard has enough PCI slots for all the cards you want.

    OS: the jury is still out on whether Vista is well suited for gaming. but, it uses a lot of resources that your game won’t be able to use. personally, i still think XP is the best for gaming.

    One other note: a large HD defeats the purpose of a high RPM HD. You want a high RPM with a relatively small HD to maximize speed. So ideally, you want one 7200 RPM hd for your program files and OS, and a 2nd 10k RPM for your games.
