Its a good deal, but i think you should buy something else. youll need Ram, cpu, opticals, case, and the HD extra
thats a really good video card, but you need a good cpu and at least 1GB of ram to have your stuff equal. if you take that deal, i would say and AMD athlon 3200+ or something like that. and no not all HD are compatible Are you Canadian?

The video card is fine but eVGA just got into the motherboard biz and their motherboards are sort of unproven right now. I'd pass unless you're feeling brave.
And I wouldn't order my parts from TigerDirect...their customer service isn't too good. Check this out.  Cricket

Hard drive is ok. You are likely to need a floppy drive at some point in the setup. You will need to get an operating system. The OEM version is about $100 less than the retail version. For the CD/DVD drive, Liteon has some pretty nice drives that come with the burning software. ASUS would be a better choice for a motherboard, and just about anywhere but E-Bay would be a better parts source than tigerdirect. Check the motherboard makers website or use the RAM makers configurator to be sure you order a compatible part number.
