Is a gaming computer good for Blockland?

Quite honestly, I was able to build my system for under $700.
Internals:
1x - AMD Athlon II X4 quadcore CPU
2x - 160 GB 3Gb/s Western Digital Blue HDD (in RAID)
1x ATI 5750 Sapphire Vapor-X graphics card
2x - 2GB DDR3 1333 ram (4GB total)
1x - Gigabyte UD3 motherboard
1x - Antec 900 case
1x - 350W Antec power supply.

It will usually run most games I throw at it. It's not the best, but you can't beat a quadcore for $100 in terms of affordability. It runs well, and it's upgradeable (socket AM3).

The only problem(s) i have with my computer is that I need more RAM (DDR3 is really hard to find, and I'm still saving up to buy it online) I need a new or another Graphics card (my Gtx 260 is fine but I would like a more powerful card, or another GTX 260.) and possibly another hardrive (This is not one I really want, but it would be kind of nice.)

Yeah, it would be awesome to Crossfire two 5750s, but I'd need a bigger power supple.
