Do you plan on using it purely as a gaming rig? If you are, you'd be better off building a custom PC or buying an xbox or PS3.

I believe it would work fine, but you would have to switch your monitor connection from one card to the other when changing OS. Just get the Mac version of the 285GTX (instead of a PC 295GTX) when it comes available and junk the GT120. Then you don't need to worry about switching your monitor connection between the two cards.

Or bother with a KVM switch, assuming the OP doesn't want to continually swap the cable around.
