In addition to the fact that you've chosen and AMD motherboard and an Intel CPU (as was pointed out), if you're really wanting to stretch out this PC for a long time, I'd go with a better PSU, like an XFX 750 or another quality brand in the 700-800 range, to make the crossfiring options practical. The non-V Series Cooler Master PSUs are a bunch of meh and I wouldn't want to push one that long.

Now, generally speaking, 5-8 years is a pretty aggressive length of time to expect a gaming build to last. If you're talking about "without upgrades, high quality game settings," a higher-end build than yours isn't going to do that, especially in the long part of your request.
