I'm building a new computer, and I have some questions regarding the combination of parts I've put together. My first question is should I expect any bottle necking with this setup. After I list the main jist of it, I'm going to be requesting suggestions on the video card, so the bottle necking may/may not differ from card to card.
The first three listed products are going to be built from www.monarchcomputers.com This website is a good one, and I get a good amount of free stuff (including hl2) when I purchase an Athlon 64 combo. I'm buying from here since I'll get the most for the least amount of money. The three components I'm building on that website are priced equally on www.newegg.com so I'm posting links to them there.

Video Card:
I'm going to list a few cards. My video performance requirements are solely to be able to run all of the new end games such as hl2, doom3, quake4 at good frames on low details.

The last card listed has pretty good reviews written about it. It beats a 6600gt 128 in gameplay, and it can be easily overclocked, quite well for that matter. Again, I only need to be able to get consistently high (100) frames on low details, probably with aa/af if it's playable like that. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
