Help Building Professional 2D System

I want to build a fast system good for multi-tasking. This is definitely not a gaming machine and will be mainly using it for surfing the net, listening to music, playing online poker (I run a lot of programs while playing and also am constantly storing information to a database). I want to be able to use two monitors at 1600 x 1200 res. Can someone help me build a good reasonably priced system ($1000)? Thanks.

Here is what I have so far:

I was also going to get the Q6600 as the processor. Does it all look good/work together (is this overkill for what I want to do with it?). I'm really a computer noob so any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Q6600 is way way overkill for your needs, hell even a modern dual core is too much I think. Try this instead (Will meet your needs just as good as your system would)

About $495, add whatever you feel that it needs (Monitors, speakers, more HDDs, DVD Burner) but that will pretty much meet your needs the same way a Q6600 + SLI 8800GTX + 4GB of ram would. And to be honest even that system above is just overkill.
