Alright so I've looked around at some of the different builds and I think I'm ready to start hammering down what I want to do for my build. As a general background I'm a Audio Productions major at the local CC and I want to get a PC up so I can start working on projects. so basically I want to build a semi general purpose computer for that and for mid end gaming.
What I'd like it to do is run ProTools and some DAW's relatively smoothly (if it has a wait time for audio preview generation I'm ok with that.) I'd like for it to be able to hook up to a VPN so that I can swap files between it and a Netbook for note taking. I'd like it to run games like Team Fortress 2 smoothly. and I'd like it to have a crapton of space for audio files and picture files.
My Specs of what I think I want plus newegg links
Please help me figure out if this will work,
most of my components come from the Hackintosh 2012 build but there is a bit of customization.

Other Thoughts and stuff to add in
I'd eventually like to put on a fan controller and a card reader in the two other 3.5" slots
Another thing will be the sound card for audio and hopefully an interface for the 5.25 bay (with OOB 1/4" jack) so I can plug my Guitar and such into the front of the computer instead of running a cable to the back.
