Default Building a Gaming Rig

So, I've been saving up for a few weeks now and it's nearing time to buy parts for my new rig. I'm building a new gaming rig(Old one is really outdated), and I need some constructive criticism on my hardware choices. I'm not so informed on new tech so I read up a lot on it lately. I want a very stable, sturdy build.. I care very little for portability, it isn't going anywhere. I also listen to a LOT of music and I am a bit of an audiophile. I want it to be able to handle the latest games on max and be future proof for upgrades. I do care about aesthetics, which is why most of my parts are color-coded(A little obsessive compulsive maybe?). Gimmicks aside, I put a lot of effort into this, I just need to be sure it's perfected before I order everything. I will be gaming at 1650x1080, and don't plan on going higher. Thanks to everybody that actually read all of my long-winded speech. Now on to the hardware:

Raidmax Iceberg 3mm thick aluminum mid tower
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750w psu
EVGA 750i FTW motherboard
XFX GTX 260(Plan on doing SLI as needed)
Intel e8600 3.33ghz processor(Doing stable OC @ 4.2ghz)
Cooler Master RR-CCH-LB12-GP 120mm cpu cooler
G.Skill 4gb PC6400 DDR2-800
LG 22x DVD Burner
Western Digital Caviar Black Edition 640gb
HT-Omega Striker 7.1 sound card
Samsung 226BW 22" Widescreen LCD
Klipsch ProMedia GMX A-2.1 speaker system
Vista Home Premium 64-bit

Also, I don't have the budget for it right now, but I'll be adding in a 300gb WD VelociRaptor, LG 6x blu-ray drive and/or the 2nd GTX260.
