Also get a 350/400W power supply.
Do you have a case ?

And is this (Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005) an add-on to the OS ?

Decient enough. .. however, the video card is a little on the low end. I would consider buying that then upgrading the video card to a x800GTO for better performance.

The Media Center Edition is a spin-off the Windows family that is geared more for streaming movies and music to a home theatre or even all over the house. While you can technically play games on MCE, that computer is not the most cost-effective for gaming. Configure that system to standard Windows XP, whether Home or Pro.

For the vid card, that X700 won't make you entirely happy. Move that up to at least a 6600 GT.

Oh and uh... make sure you go with the 1GB of dual-channel RAM. 512MB can't really cut it for gaming anymore.
