Advice about my new computer

Hi, I decide to replace my old P4 recently. I'm not a gamer, I do daytrade couple hours a week. My son is old enought to start to play on a good computer. That's why I took the decision to change my old pc.

I wanted to build it myself, first experience. I bought stuff from ebay, newegg and tigerdirect couple days ago. Can't wait to receive all the parts.

I'd like to have your opinion about the choices I did, for me, everything seems to be compatible but my knowledge is average... Here are the parts;

Mobo ; Asrock Z68 extreme 4
CPU ; I5-2500K
CPU fan ; Corsair CAFA50 A50
RAM ; 2x 4 gig Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600
HD ; Seagate Barracuda 1TB , 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s
SSD ; Patriot Pyro 2.5" 120GB, SATA III 6Gb/s to install W7 Home P 64bit
PSU ; CORSAIR Gaming Series GS700 700W 80+
Video ; HIS H685FN1GD Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
Case ; APEVIA X-Dreamer 3

Like I said, this computer will be use for my son and my daytrading. I do some video editing, autocad, music home studio with mobile pre-usb and listen to music.

Right now I will have to test the sound quality but per the mobo spec, it look to be more than enought for me. I will need a TV tuner for sure someday.

Thanks for your time, hope I did the good choice!

Looks pretty good. With AutoCAD and some other 3D modeling programs like Maya, it would be a good idea to get a workstation card in the future, but they are rather expensive. But it still would be a pretty good gaming machine, if your son wants to use it for that.
