All of that and no DVD burner! It's a WOW system, but you should get every bang for the buck. The Quadro is overboard unless you are doing pay-for 3D video (or in a studio). But, hey, if you have the budget - splurge! ;)
(FYI: You can get a 20x+ DVD burner Dual-layer for $50)
Finally, I'll back up barcode and operaguy - ditch the old OS install and start anew. There is a word for the clutter that accumulates in an OS - munge. The Registry becomes full of useless tidbits that may give you nice errors in the Administrator Events, software can't be installed from "Add or Remove Programs", any number of quirks creep in. Fonts are easy. Outlook's email database and contacts are a pain. If you are sticking with the same version, you can move the old files over and point Outlook to them - but still a pain.
Now go kick ass!
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
