Get a pair of 5870's instead of the 295. You don't need the first DVD drive. Get a dedicated RAID card, if you're planning RAID for the SSD's.

You could also look into 2 Xeon I7's and a motherboard to support them. Silly price but if you want fast, it's the way to go. A Coolermaster V10 might also be worth it. Not sure if they do I7's though, look into it.

Don't build a computer in your house! Build a house around a computer!

Yeah, the OS does lol. Also means you can encode a video silly fast.

Not sure on RAID cards, not sure if Carbon will let you know of a good one.

Have to look at reviews I'm afraid

if you wanted to go really really over the top, you could get a fully loaded mac pro, and put windows 7 on it

As powerful as a Mac Pro is, the PC he's mocked up is way more powerful.
