Scoobes did a pretty good choice of bits.
About future proofing your machine, Intel's Ivy Bridge (out in 2012) will work on socket 1155 (Intel 2500K) so you could upgrade if necessary and your boards get a new BIOS (so get a mid-to-high end motherboard, not a cheap one).
About RAM, 8GB kits are cheap enough to go for it and later on you can get another 8GB for a total of 16GB.
Some of the software you will use might use CUDA, so the logical option would be to get an Nvidia card. No future proofing here, in 6 months there will be better ones.
To choose the power supply you can use a calculator like this one: http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/advance.jsp
One more thing, if you are going to work with images, don't use a monitor with a TN panel! Colors are not as accurate as they should. IPS panels are quite cheap nowadays and aren't that bad at gaming. Check http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews.htm or http://www.flatpanelshd.com/reviews.php
