I'd probably go with this:
q9400 - Save $50 and still will be able to OC to 3.2 ghz and above with 800mHz DDR2 RAM. If you want to go much higher than consider 1066mHz, but 800mHz will do for 99% of OC's!!
x38/x48 mobo's - consider these too. You can save $50-100 on one of these. Most will have similiar features and will only cost less 
Comparison of several x38/x48 mobo's that are cheaper, but don't skimp on features.
2x 4850's - Save $200 over the 4870x2 if you think that this will be fine. Since your going to be at a 24" LCD, your resolution will work out just fine for 2x4850's!!! It's up to you here.
Corsair 750tx - Good selection here!!! Just buy it from Buy.com for $20 less than the Newegg price!! $84 after the $20 MIR!!
Corsair TX CMPSU-750TX ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply
CM 690 Case - I'd consider this case over your selection, if you don't want to spend $185 for the one you selected. The CM 690 case is going for $78 shipped!! It has plenty of room and doesn't skimp out at all for the $!!!
Cooler Master 690 without Power Supply - RC-690-KKN1-GP
CPU HSF - Couldn't have picked a better selection for the price with the Xigmatek S1283!!
HD's - Look good there! You can get bigger drives, but that will depend on what you want to do.
GPU Power
8800gtx w/e6600 OC'd will run on Antec 380w w/27A on 12v rail, PSU!!
