All that sounds great mate but i have a few comments.
Avoid the acrylic case - waste of money. They are all show. What you want is something with great cooling power. Because this machine will be working it arse off it needs to be kept nice and cool.
GFX cards - any standard card can handle Video editing. - I baought a mid range 256mb for &90 card and its fine. If you wanna do lots of 3d stuff then use the best feature of this board; SLI - The board supports dual graphics cards using SLI technology which although mainly designed for gaming, it results in an extremely stable platform from 3d work using appz such as 3D Max 2 x £150GFX cards in that machine will be smoking fast.
As i always suggest to people, another key to performance is disk speed is raiding your drives into stipred raid. if u gonna get say 1 x 80Gb disk for the OS and appz and a 250Gb disk for media then split them - get 2 x 40gb disks for OS & appz / 2 x 120Gb disks for media. If you see my signature you'll see my setup and wohoo its fast.
