Building a comp (need advice)

Sup guys. I am either going to build a comp, or get a laptop, I don't know yet because I don't know which highschool I am going too. (One is boarding school and one is local.) My brother has built computers, but I'd like to try it too, so I was wondering, if I was going to order it today, if this would be a good setup.

Does this sound good to you.. remember.. I want this to atleast last 6 years. (Ram & other upgrades might apply.) Tell me your thoughts, friends in the community.

Yea, that's why I am going to wait about a year, and then laugh at the technology that we have now. Nehalem is supposed to come out in 2005.. 10.2 ghz.. /drool Let's get some more opinions in here.

Will do, this probably want happen until a couple of months. I meant 4 years, because thats when I will be finishing up highschool and be getting ready for college. I don't play top of the line games anyway..

Shadow, to reply to a couple of youre comments.
I will be playing higher end games, I ment I didn't play them on the computer I am on now, because I like my fps atleast above 50. My computer runs splinter cell, and armed and dangerous, and whenever I make a sudden move it drops to like 20 fps. The 9600SE was not what I was hoping for, but I did get a free copy of HL2 with it. .

I am looking to get a different soundcard, I use headphones most of the time. Can anyone point me in the direction of a sound card that is under 60 USD?

Also, I wanted the 1mb cache on the 3200, so that is why i am getting the 3200 instead of 3000. The FX-51 and 3400+ are to expensive to keep it in my budget, but I'm sure everything will go down in price in the next 5 months, where in reality, is when I'd be ordering my computer.

Also, everything is retail that I am going to buy off of newegg, except for the the CD drive and Hard Drive, which I already have the connectors for.

I also forgot to add a case in that setup, I might build one out of legos like in the Maximum PC article

13 years of age

I saw their add in an old magazine, I'd rather get the experience and building one, and, I think its more fun building one (I helped with brothers, well actually, I just held the excess wires when he taped them to the side of his case :/ )

In my first post, there is no case listed there, I didn't know which one to get.
The case I am going to buy will probably have a big power supply and a lot of fans.

I heard some are good with nVidia cards and some are good with ATI cards. I'm doing some research with it, I'm also looking into products that are stable when they are overclocked.
