    They are, but you've made some rather off decisions. Firstly, no nvidia chipset motherboards, they're not very good. Also, there are far better value graphics cards than the 8800GTS G80 out there, you're paying $400 for a card that's only half as fast as one that costs $200, and i'm not even joking about that. Use a Radeon HD4870 instead if you're going to pay that much money.


    Have you considered using newegg to buy the parts?
    I'd recommend using a Gigabyte EP35-DS3R motherboard instead, and a Corsair HX620W power supply.
    If you ever plan to use two graphics cards, go with an X48-DS4 board and a Corsair TX 750W.
