Looking for a build review please. I'm building this to last for the next 3-5 years for gaming, statistics packages, dual and possibly triple screen support (already own two: 1920x1200 and 1920x1080). I'd like to order today or tomorrow.
I'm open to suggestions/criticism on anything. I'd like to stick with newegg, amazon, and possible tiger direct on parts however. I doubt I will overclock in the future.
Budget for new parts is $1000, but lower is better. The build below is $974 (free shipping, promos applied, pre-rebate)

Particular questions:
Should I go with a Haswell CPU? Or is there a more suitable Intel chip/AMD alternative?
Is the mobo okay? There is only one review, and it isn't good.
