Here's what i'm thinking of

2x GTX 285 - currently $350 each
EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - $269.99
i7 920 - $290
OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 - $114.99
ASUS MK241H Black 24" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor with 1.3M Pixel Webcam 450 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 3000:1) Built in Speakers - $279.99
CORSAIR 850TX 850W - $140
Antec 1200 - $160
CM V8 - $70
Segate Barracuda 1.5TB - $130
I already have the two 320 GB HD for raid
Mouse, keeboard and game pad also

My budget is about $1500 but i am going to purchase this system in July so i think there will be price drops by then and deals that will lower the cost of these parts considerably. I would like any suggestions on what needs improvement on this system to help me purchase something that can last because i wont be upgrading anything on it for a long time (if ever).

Get a noctua or a TRUE instead of a V8 -> more overclocking room. Other than that it looks fine. That is basically the same build that I'm going to get over the summer lol THIEF.
