I've spent a couple days picking out parts for a BEASTLY god-box. I've never built a computer before, but I've been reading about it, and I THINK this will satisfy all my needs. Here's what I'm working with:

I'm fresh out of highschool, just got my first programming job, this is the first thousand dollars I've ever earned. It did not come easy. I'm planning on running Linux(I'll try out a couple flavors) and just a little bit of windows. Mostly I'll be using this set for coding and CAD with blender, but I'll also want to watch and edit HD movies and do a bit of heavy gaming. Please let me know if you can think of anything that is unnecessary, crappy, or incompatible, or if there's anything else I should consider in order to make this computer run amazingly. Thank you so much in advance :)
