So what do you all think of this DAW/video setup? Any glaring mistakes?

Antec P150 (case includes the Neo HE 430W ATX12V v2.2), might add 2 x 92mm fans. So sad it doesn't come in silver/black

A few considerations on the side:

If I'm not mistaken the on board FW800 is on the PCI-e bus.

I plan to work with a Yamaha 01v96v2 on mLAN.

There is no need for a PCI soundcard, unless maybe a DSP-card like the UAD or TC Powercore later on.

If I rout it correctly I should also be able to use the FX section of the 01v96

If the stock cooler turns out too loud I will probably replace it with a Zalman AlCu 7700 or so. I have heard they're pretty decent though, so I'll wait and hear.

My max trackcount will be around 32, including MIDI.

Your points of view are much appreciated.
