** This will be my first build and i just would like to know from the more tech sauvy people if this is a good build that will still be relevant a few years down the road. Any upgrades or trades for better price/performance are greatly appreciated. thanks for the help.

wait for Jan 5th sandy bridge.
"Dragon Age on the other hand shows an 11.6% gain vs. the i5 760 and equal performance to the Core i7 880. Given that the i5 2400 is slated to be cheaper than the i5 760, I can't complain."

or buy everything but the Mobo,CPU, and cooler when its cheap then just buy the CPU and mobo when they are released.. thats what I'm doing.
