Pretty low spec. The PSU is probably substandard as you haven't specified a make. 2GB RAM is the minimum these days, so thats OK, but you're only using DDR I - go for a motherboard that supports DDR II instead.
The Sempron processor isn't exactly great. Go with a proper X2 or Cure 2 Duo instead.
A 5400 RPM drive is super slow, and maxtor drives aren't known for their reliability.
The ATi X700 is a budget card. No good for high-end gaming. Go for a GeForce 6800 ot Radeon x1950.
The gigabit NIC is OK.
