I'm interested in acquiring some feed back on this build. The intention for this build is as the title says, with a little extra. It should be fast and reliable, as well as long lasting and durable (5+ years). It might be nice to have room to grow with new software and technologies. This is why the buyer would like something a bit more high-end.
Approximate Purchase Date: Probably sometime in June of this year
Budget Range: Max budget of around 1500 USD, but less is always preferred
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Those with the best deals

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU; nVIDA GPU; ASUS mobo

Notes:
~ High quality has priority over performance.
