Kinda, but I doubt you'll need that sound card, seeing as a lot of motherboards have 5.1 built-in. And for under $1000, you should be able to fit in an 8800GT. And right now, Intel's CPUs are better; I think you should go for them instead.

You wont need a monitor if you have a HDTV handy, use DVI / HDMI convertor and that desktop will run great on a HDTV.Also for graphics go for the ATI HD487 512, its cheaper than the top range Nvidia cardand you can always buy another later on and go for crossfire
