I somehow think it might be overkill for gaming/development. What are you developing ? Video, photoshop, 3D programming, web site ?
The most important part for game is video card, if you can get 50+ fps at high quality setting it would be enough.
I don't think you should over spend on newest technology becauses newest technology becomes cheaper faster. Upgrade your current system with recent technology parts that is on sales saves some dollars for upgrades.
Also you bought a seperate sound card, are you audiophile ?
You should get a decent 5.1 speaker and headphone to go with the card.
Raptor HDD, I would go with 250GB non-raptor HDD then upgrade to Raptor HDD when it's more affordable. Then you can tell what performance gain you got from Raptor HDD.
Monitor. Maybe high end 19" would be more affordable. Or you would consider Dell 21" ?
