GPU-wise ATI is on top at the moment, although you might want to wait a few months until we know how good or bad NVIDIA's upcoming Fermi is.
CPU-wise it hasn't changed much: Intel still wins all-round, AMD is still the cheaper of the two. Personally I'd still go for Intel though, but that's just me, there's loads of gamers very happy with their AMDs

Well, if you could open your mac without voiding your warranty and add a proper video card to it and then use that crap Boot Camp to use Windows 7, that would be best choice.
Instead you want to keep my work rig and gaming rig separate.

Why not replace that as well? It will still be cheaper. |

AMD 435 and an ATI 5770 sound like a good combo for you

680 euro? Well my combination was around 480€ and was pretty good
Athlon II X4 with 4x2,8Ghz (easily overclockable to 3,2Ghz with the supplied fan)
4GB RAM (DDRIII 1333)
HD4870 or 5770 with 1GB
640GB HD (7200rpm 16MB cache)
good mainboard (with hd 4200 + 128mb gfx ram for hybrid crossfire)
case and 530w be quiet power supply
You could take an I5 750 and an intel mobo and would be just under 600 € I guess

You can probably build the system yourself for much lower price.

But it will only take about an hour to build yourself and you choose exactly what parts you want meaning there will be no compromises.
You could always get someone else to build it if you don't feel confident enough.

Building it yourself will be substantially cheaper.
And sure an iMac has decent specs. Also costs more than twice the hardware itself costs
Do you need a complete system from scratch? If so, Paintface's list is a fair start, altho he made a mistake on the PSU. That particular model isn't one of the best, so I'd suggest going for a lower wattage but a higher quality PSU
Have you already got a case suitable to build it all into? i.e. enough room to move around in, some airflow to keep stuff cool, etcetera

Are you encouraging him to use the Mac as a gaming PC  ? |
It doesn't matter, and Macs have at least good CPUs in them. The GPUs are awful, and so is the design itself, but at least the CPUs are good. Also, he has already paid for that hardware, no matter how high the price, so no point throwing more cash for similar hardware (another motherboard, another CPU, RAM, etc). He can just pop a card in (and possibly a PSU) and have a gaming system for less.
Seeing as he probably doesn't know how to build it ("I dont mind paying for the built already convenience", et al), there isn't much more for me to say. |

If you need help with building, why not ask? Sure it is better than churning cash on something that is so easy. The "hardest" thing is connecting the case wires to the motherboard, and all this is always covered in the motherboard manual.
Just need some patience and 1 hour of free time.
