It's not exactly easy to tell (as you don't provide the exact models of each part), but it looks to me like everything'd fit together just fine. Honestly, though, buying a pre-built PC from anywhere will cost you a lot more than if you bought the parts yourself.
The dual 8600GTs are useless - a single 8800GT will be more powerful.

You might want to consider building your own machine. It's really not nearly as hard as it might seem (first time computer builders can do it in an hour, easily) and you'll have a far better machine than any pre-build bought for the same price.

A few weeks ago I put together a computer system for a little under $1,400, so I suppose I may as well post it, just to see what you could have:

Reasonings:
Monitor: You may ask "Why pay more for a smaller monitor?". I'll say this quickly: 2ms(GTG) is as good as you can get for gaming. Using a 5ms monitor would probably lead to ghosting if you're playing a very graphically demanding game such as Crysis.

Case: I'll admit, I'm totally biased to love the Antec 900. It's just that it has a huge amount of fans, allowing for great overclocking and gaming potential.

CPU: With the Antec 900 providing great cooling as it is, you could probably OC this piece to about 3-3.2GHz.

RAM: What can I say? RAM is cheap. You might like to order 2 of these, but even if you're playing Crysis, even with Vista, it'll still use only like 1.5GBs at most.

GPU: 8800GTX will run anything at the highest settings with a very decent frame rate. There's no need for anything better at the time being.

Mobo: Yeah, I'll admit it's a little cheap... But who cares? It'll support everything here just fine and it's the highest rated Intel mobo on Newegg.

HDD: It's not the best, but, hell, who needs more than 500 gigs? Unless you download a gig of porn an hour, this is just fine for whatever you'll need it for.

PSU: Very highly rated; will run everything here.

Totals out to $1385.47.


Mind you this was from a few weeks ago and computer parts are constantly getting cheaper and cheaper, so this might be less than it is already.[/quote]
