Hello forums i just applied to this forum although i have been a lurker for quite some time.
OK its time i get to the meat of the situation im building a pc for extreme gaming for long hours ( 8 hrs+) im trying tho keep this rig in the $2000 range as i cant afford anything more and im choosing an amd build which i think makes alot of difference in my budget.
Expectations: intense gamin and im not planning on updating every couple of months i want this rig to last atleast three year where it
can perform quite well as newer games are released.

i was thinking of getting a 5970 but i just cant bring myself to spend that much on a gpu right now $700 is just too high
will this setup last 3 years or so because im planning to add things like Ram and maybe another gpu when my card starts to age.
well the cooler i chose the noctua because im planning to push my cpu to 4.0ghz is this a good choice because i dont really like water cooling because its just too risky and expensive.
is this spending too much any ideas for lower cost and same performance?
Reason of edit: just adding a few things and changing the format
