Basically I found this combo on newegg, I'm wondering if everything looks good and if the video card is compatible.

All of this comes up to a total of $684.49.

^ That is a good combo, but would have been better if it had a x8x8 Crossfire motherboard though,...

Looks good...what's your resolution, and do you plan on o/c ?

On the one hand, you'll race through any productivity apps, and run older games maxed. OTOH, depending on your resolution, the newest, most demanding games may require lowered settings. Unfortunately, you don't have the option of adding a second card later for Crossfire. Depending on the games you [want to] play, this means you may want to get a better card, like a HD6950, or get a board that supports x8,x8 Crossfire; although I realize that hoses the combo. You may be able to find other good deals.

I have two monitors one at 1680x1050 and the other at 1600x900, I use the 1680 for games though. I am not planing on o/c

Well, a HD6850 would do well for 1680x1050.
