I had another thread asking for help in a few areas, and now that I've gone through it some more I think I have decided on a final system and I was wondering what you all thought about it and maybe tell me how this will work and did I make good selections.
This computer will be used for work in Visual C++, Photoshop7, 3DSmax6, and RTS games such as the upcoming Age of Empires 3.

I haven't picked out a case, cooling system, or any type of PSU yet. Any advice on those would be helpful. Also, is there anything specific I need to look for when purchasing a DVD/CD RW drive? (I do know that it should be 48x)
Is there anything else I need to consider for this computer that maybe I left out or forgot about?
I know it's alot, but any help will be appreciated.
