I would get a 4870x2 over the GTX285, Better and cheaper. Everything else looks good but you dont need a 1000w psu. A 850w corsair is more than enough, a 750w should even be able to handle that too and the HAF 932 is better than the 1200 overall for price and cooling.
Make sure to get a quality heatsink and fan if your going to be overclocking.

Ok. Cas is a little overkill really, man, this case sure is becoming popular despite how expensive it is.
I'd strongly advise against the GTX285, it's hugely expensive for how it performs. The EVGA board is also a bad idea.
Here's what I'd buy for the Mobo and GPU:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128374
The HX1000 is also overkill for the PSU. This is fine:

or, if you want more room to upgrade:

The RAM and HDDs are all good choices. Not getting an optical drive?
This is the monitor I would recommend over the Asus:

I'm not really a fan of Coolermaster or Xigmatek coolers really, they are the 'poor man's' tower coolers.
This is what I would choose at newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608007
The HAF is the case I have for my gaming PC, it is MUCH quieter than the 1200, and is realistically better designed, though I will grant you, it is more cheaply made.
The holes at the top are just as present on the Antec case, and in fact the holes themselves are bigger on the Antec case which makes it more likely stuff can fall in.

using a samsung drive I got from my cousin so I'm fine with that, Thanks for the tips Sam.
Could you give a reason why the EVGA board might not be the best? It seems like its a pretty decent board according to reviews?

Almost all EVGA boards in the past have been poorly design and had problems with longevity, but then they've all been nvidia boards in the past.

yes, nvidia chipsets didnt seem to work.
but these baords are brilliant from what i have seen.
change the GTX285 to the 4870x2, unless u really love nvidia, in which case spend the exrta for 2 285s :D!
the PSU is fine, but sam says it loud.
instead of a veliciraptor, id say get a vertex 60GB for vista 64 and apps, and use the 1TB for games and stogare.

A Vertex SSD is substantially more expensive than a Velociraptor though, last time I checked. Do you not think spending an extra $100 on a PSU that isn't necessary is overkill then? An i7 and 4870X2 is fine on a decent 750W, with two 285s of course an 850 would be wiser.

I think I was more to the point that you wouldn't need a 650W PSU. 9 months ago I already had my 4870X2, and I think I was about to get the Q6600 as well.
