PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (newegg.com/any) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (Washington DC)

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: (would probably keep for 5 years then rebuild)
I've been trying to research parts for the last couple weeks and would like to run by my proposed build. I think overall it's overkill for my uses, but when I start researching things I tend to go overboard as I'm sure a lot of guys on here do. Plus I would like it to last 5 years before becoming too obsolete.
