delicious.
The only thing I'd look at is a video card upgrade. The 9500 is a lightweight, you'll get a lot more pixels and whatnot out of a 9800 gt (I'm glorying in that card right now - Left 4 Dead 2 at moderate pretty in 1920x1080 is just delicious).
My only concern with that machine is the motherboard - specifically, what board is it?
No info available on that.
However, given _what_ it is, individual component replacement or upgrade is a viable option.
I would not hesitate to recommend this machine.
My recommended upgrade path would be: Video Card to 9800 GT or better. CPU to i7 or i9 @ 3.0ghz or better. Power supply to ~850w (hardocp.com reviews power supplies good). Disk to 2tb/32mb cache @ 7200 rpm or better.
all in all, quite nice.
