Why these? you should at least get a 4850 and a PSU @ 600W.

don't mind them, people here always assume your PC will be used for gaming. even if you clearly state that it won't they assume that it will because they think powerful PC's can only be fully appreciated through gaming.

have you found a monitor or do you already have one?

anyways, the PC is looking solid. going for a quad-core was a good choice, and 4 Gb of RAM should handle pretty much anything.

Just make sure to have a 64 bit version of whatever Operating system you plan on using, to take full advantage of your RAM + video card memory

Your computer looks good. Don't worry about getting the highest graphics possible, video and picture editing is more cpu intensive than gpu. Besides, with that card you could run most anything as it is.
