Its good.
Have you thought about going for the Intel route - E6750 imo its better.
Get a 8800GT or HD3870 instead cost lower than the 8800GTS and peforms better than it. And 8600GT is ok on tight budget but for gaming not worth it.
Best price/peformance cards 8800GT, HD3850 and HD3870 they are the cards to get if you can find one. Blows away the 8600GT and only costs a few dollars mores.
Get a better quality psu like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003
higher quality, much more efficient, quiet.
or the HX520w even better. Don't cheap out on the psu. The amount of watts a psu has isn't everything to a psu.
Have you checked newegg?

your PSU link is dead.
mobo does too
case=awesomeness
processor looks good, the fan that comes with it should be adequate, but whatever, its better to be on the safe side
RAM is compatible
Hard drive, i dont know if it supports SATA II but its worth a try, im not too familiar with SATA variants so dont just take my word for it
CD drive is the excat one i have, you wont be disappointed, its practically a steal with that price
well, just post your PSU (3rd most important part of your PC) link and ill see if its good mang! but so far looks like ur good 2 go!
when looking for a PSU never buy the cheap one that says 100000000 watts okay? pay a reasonable price (that you think) for the amount of wattage. never trust the companies to post the real wattage, and if you purchase a faulty one, it can burn your whole system, and the PSU manfacturer has not responsibilty for your lost parts and money
btw next time you make a PC, go newegg.com, best site ever. if only they sold food.....
ABOUT YOUR GFX CARDS: purchase the 8600 the pperformace difference of the cards, is not worth the price difference. and 8600 is above average anyways.
everything else looks good. and next time get Intel. just my advice homieee

Looks good however i wouldnt go for any of that lol.
AMD?
If you want the best performance get a Intel Core2Duo.
But that would mean different Motherboard,PSU
