Looks a bit nicer than mid-range to me!

You'll really enjoy that rig, especially the overclocking ability!
 
add in a cpu cooler, and I'm assuming you already have a sata hdd and a case.
what are you aiming for btw?

how about switching out the videocard with the ati x1950pro, so far the reviews have seen quite positive. Sapphire one for $200 may be better than the 7900gt.
