Actualy that XFX video card is a lemon, Go for an Asus or a Diamond when it comes to ATI video cards.
The Biostar motherboard should do ok if it is not DOA when you get it, however I would spend a little extra and get an Asus. The Tricore AMD is a good CPU and will serve you well.

You can't rely on Newegg reviews. Some low end manufacturers rag on the top guys by posting bad reviews then posting great reviews for their own crappy product.
XFX is garbage trust me on this. The only other brand making ATI cards worth considering is HIS but I am not too keen on their customer support. Asus and Diamond have very fast response and it is very easy to talk to a human being when you have issues, they don't hide behind email addresses and web page forms that never get answered.
