Everything else looks good, though I would also go bigger on the SSD, and make sure it is a Crucial M4 SSD because of performance/reliability.
That sounds good except where I highlighted. IMO thats a whole lot of juice when I'm not really going to be running that many devices, also I'm not playing games so do I really need a Crossfire card?

If anything I'm considering going with a card with video capture built in (my old ATi Radeon X850XT had that built in).
