Don't buy a physics card, Dx10 handles a large number of the features like smoke and fire.

I must say though, that looks to be a very promising assortment of parts, you wouldn't need to upgrade at all anytime soon. For the Chassis, just get a cooling case. also I would suggest one of those coolers like this for your wonderful 8800.

physics card is worthless. For now anyway. Not sure why you need such an expensive mobo, but sure.

My 2x 80mm arctic cooling fans, 120mm coolermaster fan, zalman 7000alcu for my 4200+, and zalman vga cooler for my 7800GT run completely silent in my praetorian 730. Seriously, no sound, and barely a bit of vibration if you feel the top of the case.
