Im assuming you will be using it for gaming? If yes then yeah it will last a good amount of time. The components that you have chosen are very good (I have the same board) especially if you wait for a new ATI dx10 card

Your computer will cruise through all (or most) current games I imagine (mines does, look at my sig

) and will see the greater benefits once multi-threaded applications/games start to become available.

EDIT: only thing I would say is if you are going to be overclocking then perhaps get a different cooler for your CPU (Scythe Ninja/Tuniq Tower/Arctic Freezer 7 Pro). If not then make sure you get the Retail version of the CPU as the OEM version will not come with a fan.

I would get an 8800 GTS 320MB so you can start gaming now, or an x1950 Pro and upgrade to ATi's DX10 when it (eventually) shows up. Otherwise you could be waiting a while.
