Do your homework when choosing the RAM. It's got to be good in the motherboard you're using, and memory errors are terrible to diagnose, if you have them. I prefer Kingston, or Crucial. For power supplies, I go for the higher reliability units, not that you didn't choose a good one. But, those are more likely to fail from what I've experienced. Since you said DAW, I'd add "quiet" to your list of power supply features of utmost importance. I'm very happy with my Athlon 64-X2. Besides DAW, you mentioned that you need excellent graphics. Are you going to produce video, or maybe you're trying to build a machine for gaming too? You'll need to choose your audio interface for the DAW, and that might impact your choice of motherboards, which will ripple through all of your other choices.
