It sounds very good.

Maybe get this hard disk: WD6400AAKS, 640GB

You can make a $200 GB partition for OS/apps and leave the rest for data files. It will be faster than the two older and smaller models, unless you spend lots of time copying files from the OS partition to the other and back.

I would go with a eVGA card.
