I'm putting together a first build for a system that I'll use mostly for work (I'm a biologist) - which means a lot of big data sets in various interfaces (R, Matlab, ImageJ, etc.) and the occasional use of Avizo Fire and 3D rendering. No gaming. Here's what I've put together (I'd like to stick in the 1500 range or so). Tips?

My biggest uncertainty is the video card - good for Avizo, not really necessary for anything else I'm doing (really).
