I am trying to build a gaming machine that will last a long time. I will not SLI or OC anything because I like stability. I need help to verify that these parts will build me a machine that will last a long time. I am attempting to make this 1200 machine into ~850 http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/ [...] er=6124694
Please help me pick which parts is good or any other recommendations. I usually shop at Newegg but if you know anywhere else that sells it cheaper let me know =)

The Q6600 is a wise choice and it will last for a pretty long time. I've got mine at 3.0ghz right now at just a tad higher than stock voltage. The only thing holding it back my crappy memory.

4850 is about twice as much as the 8800gts I got for 120 with a 20 rebate it will be 100 and 4850 is 200 on NE atm. So the question is - is the 4850 worth the extra 100?
Depending on the game, from a little to a lot. Your card is based on the G80 architecture, and now the G92 core is out, and the GTX 200 series has come out. The 4850 is the newest ATI card for gamers costing 200 but beating the 9800GTX which is so much faster than the 8800GTS 640MB.
worth extra 100 bucks I mean I might not play a lot of FPS most likely more WoW and SC2
