Is this suitable for use with Maya 2011, Houdini and Messiah Pro

Hi - here's the spec I've chosen (my budget is about 1000 GP). I mainly wanted to check whether this will work with the Quadro FX1800 graphics card. If anyone could let me know either way I'd be very grateful. I'll be doing mainly simple animation, nothing hugely complicated. Thanks.

An FX1800 would fit into this specification nicely. The only thing that worried me was the PSU but I've checked on nVidia's website and its maximum power usage is 59W so the 450W should be fine.
