Arrow Another New i7 Build

I've been doing a lot of homework on this build, but I wanted to have you guys check it through and see if there's any changes that can be made. Going to buy this in about 2 weeks and my budget is $1500, but most likely will be higher . I will be purchasing the necessary parts first then any extras later. Im going to pick up as much as I can at Fry's & Micro Center to save on some shipping.

Cooler Master HAF
Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz
Foxconn BloodRage
XFX Radeon HD 4890
Corsair 850w Power Supply
G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB
LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA
Prolimatech Megahalem
OCZ Freeze TIM
Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard
Logitech MX518SE Mouse
steelseries iron.lady Siberia Circumaural Full-Size Headset - Red
Panaflo-M For CPU
Scythe S-Flex SFF21G 120mm Case Fan x4 To replace the side 230mm
Antec 120mm Red LED Case Fan
Sunbeam Rheobus-Extreme Fan Controller
steelseries QcK Mouse Pad
Logisys Computer Single Red Meteor Light Kit x2

Total ~$1600 Not including shipping or taxes (I live in CA )

Parts I know that are sold at Fry's or MC for similar prices:
i7 920, CM HAF, Optimus Prime, G11, MX518, & the Tricool.
Any other parts?

Im gunna see how the prices are on the GT300/5800s are when they come out, so I might either Crossfire the 4890s or sell mine and get one of the newer cards. Also gunna get a 24" at the same time.

As for the headphones, does anyone have any experience with the Siberias? I have tried them on and they very comfortable and I liked them.
Other ones I was looking at: Sennheiser HD-212 or HD-555s (Little over budget, but I might be willing to pay the extra) + the Zalman clip on mic.

Go with the HD-555s, only $10 more (not counting the mic) but the sound should be so much nicer.
