is this a good setup for doing some animation work?

I am looking to build a new computer, and wanted to get some feedback.
Im not much of a videogame player, but want to be able to if i want to. I want to build a machine that can handle doing a animation like maya and doing really, really large photoshop stuff (im talking files that are several gigs in size). I would like to stay under $2000. here is what im looking at right now

AMD anthlon 64 socket 939, either 3200+ or 3500+ (plan on overclocking a little)
which kind is best? winchester?

DFI lanparty ut NF4 Ultra-D nvidia nforce4 ultra motherboard w/ pci express

OCZ performance series dual channel kit 184 pin 1 GB(maybe 2GB but its expensive)
DDR PC-3500

NEC 16x double layer DVD+-RW drive

some case, maybe the Antec lifestyle series Sonata with 380W powersupply
dont know it this is enought watts, if not then
an Antec p160 or lian- li pc-65, which are more expensive and need a powersupply
if i get one of these, either antec 430W or aspire 520W or fortron blue 500W

BFG Geforce 6800 GT OC (which i plan on overclocking or changing drivers to make into a quadro, ot sure which one the 6800 card is comparable to)

dell 2005fpw 20" widescreen LCD

I already have 2 HDs, one 80 gig, the other 160. so what do you all think? is it worth it for amd 3500 or just over clock 3200, the the sonata good enough, with enough watts? what about the other stuff? should i go with a diff motherboard? a friend told me about dfi.
