First Build Sugestions

Hay I'm putting parts together for my new comp and im just looking for some general guidelines, sugestions and/or pointers. And this being my first bulid i want everything to run as smoothy as possible both the installation and the system itself so see what you can do.

I'm going to be using it mainly for graphics design, animation, some video editing but very little gaming. And I have a lot music to feed my ipod.

Power supply is not suitable for a PCI-E build. It's not ATX 2.0 spec. Get one of the Fortron/Sparkle/FSP 2.0 units if you need to keep the cost down.

Why a SLI board? Get a P5LD2.

Get a SATA hard drive, not a IDE.
