8 Gigs of ram puts you 3-4 gigs past what you will EVER use. People can multibox WoW on 2 gigs, and can window play bioshock while surfing the internet on 3-4.
You've got dual hard drives, and the small one is big enough to hold most programs you'll ever want, so you can game off the 10k and store media on the 640.
Dual 1 Gig graphics cards. I have 128 MB in mine (and die a little inside when I think about it) and right now I'm wondering if you're showing off or something.
Liquid cooling, enough wattage to run whatever, good ethernet card, the only thing you didn't mention is the sound card, which is a really cheap upgrade if you go high end budget card. A hundred can get more than you'll need unless you'e got an entire room wired to 200 speakers. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]
