Also the Core 2 socket has scope for upgrading in the future as Intel role out faster chips and more cores. I'd suggest an E6300 though, and buy a better one in a few years or something.
Don't bother with SLI, just get one faster card. Better performance, less power drain, easier to upgrade, probably cheaper.
I'd probably stick with a single hard drive for the time being, then stick a 1tb one in later down the road for the same price as a 250gb one now.
