That's a pretty decent deal. A couple of points. PC800 memory is expensive and although 256MB is reasonable, it'll cost $$$ should you want more.
I've never heard of those speakers, and they probably sound like crap, but that's an easy fix.
The GF4MX is a reasonable card, no matter what anyone else will tell you. The only difference between that and the GF3Ti and GF4Ti is the lack of programmable pixel shaders. No games are using that at the moment anyway and probable won't for some time, so unless you plan to run FPS's at 2048 by 1536 I wouldn't worry about it.
I notice you didn't mention what the mobo is. Check the upgrade policy with Dell and see how hard it would be to upgrade in the future. You don't want to get stuck with a machine you can't upgrade.

Sorry, Gateway not Dell. Oops!
