All our teacher machines at school are GX240s, they seem to perform pretty well.

For yours I would get a faster (7200RPM Hard Disk) 5400 RPM is way too slow and performs nowhere near as well as a 7200 or 10000 RPM HDD. More RAM definately, probably a 512 card to give you 768. Video is pretty good, but with some more heavy games it might be a little weak. If you plan on getting better video (which for mild gaming is probably not needed) I would stick with NVidia but get a 256 card.
