Unless you're building a show car with six plasma TVs and NASA shuttle communication capabilities, scale your system back about seven billion percent. You'll be thankful for the simplicity when it inevitably goes wrong.
If you still want power, but minus the desktop setup, then go with mobile components. Yea its more pricey, but you wont have to worry about powering it. A OPUS 320 will work fine. I built my setup for high multimedia use. 4 screens, etc.....
