Hi guys i am looking at building a new PC over christmas for myself to purely game and render some 720p videos on using prem pro or vegas. I have put together this build and would just like your input to see if there is anything i should change or add. I am looking at keeping this PC for a few years and am not quite sure if it will still be good for games coming out in the next couple of years (Crysis 3 for example).
Also is there any new of new CPU's or GPU's that are coming out over the beginning of next year that i should wait for?

i'm just looking at a base unit and a new Monitor, i have a new keyboard, mouse plus windows etc.

Is the Monitor also good for gaming?

anyway here is the spec and any advice would gladly be appreciated
*UPDATED*

looking into getting this card instead based on the post below if anyone could help me choose lol - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-170-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2294

Also the 750w PSU from corsair is out of stock so the 850w PSU is still in the basket (bit of a corsair lover :) )

The spec looks ok.

But! Have a look at the 670 GTX which is only slightly slower than the 680, I went the 670 instead of the 680.

PSU can be dropped to 750w, this will be ample for SLI setup with either the 680 or 670 gpu's.
 
Thanks for the great replies, exactly the help i was looking for, will be amending my basket based on your input :)

ahh thank you was wondering on what peoples opinions were on this monitor, i was looking at the BenQ XL2420T but after reading the official OCUK thread, people seems to have a lot of issue regarding screen brightness and colour, so i was turned away from it. Also 27 inch seems a nicer size now im thinking about it.
