^ Will you be overclocking the PC ??

Better and faster graphics card -
Quadro 2000 1GB DDR5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133353

RAM - For such usage, I would prefer 12GB,...

If not overclocking high, then even these boards would do,...

More MoBo than is warranted. Asus Sabertooth saves $100, gets you a 5 year warranty and is an extremely easy board to score high overclocks with.

Cooler is big and doesn't perform as well as many others costing half as much. You'll notice the Noctua doesn't make the top ten list (actually top 11) but falls to the 2nd tier in the highly recommended category.

The Megahalems, Scythe 2100 or Venomous RT would be my choice.

GFX Card - Grab the Quadro 200 w/ DDR5 memory over the 1800

RAM - Can't see 6 GB for $145 at CAS 8 when there's CAS 6 available at $104
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227573

If not a fan of OCZ, then the Mushkin CAS 7's are only $109
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226155

Here's 12 GB @ $175 and what you are doing screams for more memory

Don't see the purpose of the sound card on a rendering box; on board audio is excellent.

Don't get the wireless on a desktop idea.

If you intend double usage and "play"on this machine, I'd drop the Quadro and get twin 470's.

750 watts is substantially more than you need. Consider Antec 900 w/ EA-650 PSU Combo for a $30 savings
