not a bad rig. What monitor are you running?
I am not familiar with that gase, but the Antec 1200 is good for multi gfx cards.
If I was you I would also look at adding water cooling to that sucker and overclock it all.

Also get a better CPU. Dual core is better for gaming at the moment, but get a Quad core because as time goes on more and more games are going to support more than 2 cores, therefore quads are going to be faster. I have a quad core and can run Crysis and COD4 on Highest settings at 1280 x 1024 no problem (I would go higher but I have a 19" monitor)

Its pretty good.

I do think your choice of motherboard is poor though. You should try to get an ATI based mobo, or get an nVidia graphics card. Less chances of worrying about your graphics card bottlenecking.
