Will all of this work together, mainly worried about ram and video card fitting on Motherboard. Does the build look good for gaming? How could I get this for below a thousand dollars? The price without shipping is $981.88, but shipping puts it up to $1,040.73.

Your build looks like it will work to me. The monitor you've picked is out of stock though. A few suggestions from me. Take a look a look at the following replacement components:

I am using this power supply presently. It is very good quality in my opinion:
OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600 Watt - $80
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341010

Since you save money on the power supply you can get 4 gigabytes of this RAM:
SUPER TALENT 4 gigabyte (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - $45
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609218

If you want a 320 gigabyte hard drive you can also save yourself some money. Take a look at this hard drive for $55:
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320 gigabyte 7200 RPM hard drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...74&Tpk=Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS
 
Very nice build, but I would bump your RAM up to DDR2 1066. The price difference is nada.

As far as getting the price below $1000.00, the only thing I could see
skimping on is maybe a smaller hard drive and lose the tool kit. The only
tools I used for my build was a phillips head screwdriver and scissors.
