Additional Comments: I would like to know how long this build will last me in terms of years (I know its impossible to really know, just an approx would be great). I also have a concern with my RAM clearance height wise with my chosen air cooler. A little insight on that would be great. Also would like to know if this RAM is even compatible with my mobo as it is not listed on the qualified vendor list. Any other recommendations or critiques are welcome! Thanks.

Newegg wishlist can be found here: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=35167048

Also forgot to add I will be using a NZXT Phantom 410 case. I already have that so it is not included in the wishlist.
