The CPU and Ram seem to be ok.
But the graphics card sucks hell!
Thats a very low end graphics card..
Also with the same specs, in PC it would cost the half of the price. Maybe not even.
But its your choice!

[Corleone]

Actually, Im glad you brought that up.What is a good graphics card?

[Turkey]

Well for your system I would prefer to use
a Nvidia GeForce 7600gt, not gs around $70
or
an ATI X1600 around $80

If you have more budget
- ATI x1950Pro. around $200 (DX9)
- GeForce 8800gts 320MB around $300 

you also could get the 8600GT for around $100 but its worse than a 7600gt, it just has the new DirectX10 feature. 

I hope I could help.
