First I'd like to say that this will be my very first build, as I am due for a new PC (last one being a Dell). I'm not looking for a gaming PC (will probably be doing light gaming), but more in the needs for everyday use while im at school and heavy multimedia. I also want to be able to output HD content to an 1080p 42" (doing a 1920 x 1080 res). Since I do not purchase new computers quite often (Dell purchased 4 years ago), I want to be able to have room to upgrade with this PC as I want this to last me another 4 years. I'm just looking for a super fast computer(dont we all ) to handle everyday jobs with no lag.
My budget is $1500. Here is what I have come up with (no need for any peripherals), I'm looking to run 32bit Vista on it. I also plan on over clocking in the future.
Please let me know what you think and if certain parts will not work together. Thanks for your input!!

I know I can probably get it cheaper on other sites, but just wanted to use Newegg as a basis.
I'm also considering this motherboard, but it has not come out yet. I would consider this MB as my first option if it fits my needs better or there is no justification on paying more for the other board.
