Looking to get the parts ordered and get to work. I need a workstation that will be able to run Protools/Logic/Reason/etc. and be used for recording audio/music. I'm going to go with Mountain Lion as the OS and will be using a recording interface that is Firewire based. I don't think I will be doing much gaming on this system, but you never know. Just looking for a nice middle of the road build. Let me know what you think!

With the build I have two main questions. Is the HD 6670 going to work with Mountain Lion, or is there a better choice in that price category? And does the 600W PSU listed have enough juice to power the system?
Thanks for help!
