Looks good but why the extra graphics card?

There's no point in spending money on quad core - unless you own stock in intel, or spend a majority of your time in a rendering / animation program. AutoCAD based products take almost no advantage of multiple cores/cpus.

Have you looked at Xi computers? as a rule they seem to always offer a better bang for the buck than Dell or HP (satisfied owner of an Xi - but no financial incentive)
