Especially when you consider you're going almost top of the line stuff now.

The mobo will probably last me 4 years. I'll probably upgrade the CPU in half that. But I don't believe that by then, my mobo will be so out-of-date that I wont benefit from new CPU/GPU.
Yeah, the mobo will need to be upgraded eventually. But once I get it all built this summer, I can chip away at it, $200-$300 at a time over the coming years.
