I'm building a new system to replace the one I"ve been using for about 4 years now. I've been completely out of the loop as far as PC components, especially video cards. I'm going to use this PC for photoshop, illustrator, HTML work. Don't do a lot of gaming but I'm probably gonna play Supreme commander. I've taken a look at a lot of the builds on this board and used those as a guide. Budget, trying to stay around 1500. I"m looking for something that will give good performance for about 2 years down the road, not planning to overclock.

Specs:
CPU: Intel E6600
Mobo: ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 975X ATX Intel
Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 532 RC-532-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel
Memory: Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
DVD Drives: 2 x NEC 16X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE/ATAPI Model ND-3550A
Hard Drive:
1 Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Western Digital Caviar RE WD1600YS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
CPU Cooling: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
PSU: SeaSonic S12-500 ATX12V 500W Power Supply - IS this Overkill?

Video Card I'm still trying to figure that out: GeForce 8800GTS?

suggestions? comments? questions?

Thanks
