The build is good, but get the same processor(if that's the one you like) with a "k" at the end of the number(2600k). They are the same processor, but the "K" designates the processor as being unlocked. Meaning you can overclock it, etc.
As for why I didn't get a sandy bridge, according to intel, the I-950+ outperform the current sandy bridge models. I was thinking about getting an extreme, but thought it major overkill since all I really do is troll jsp, look at videos on youtube and play LoL. My old processor(amd dual core thing) worked just fine, but I wanted to upgrade

24 gigs of ram is cool

Still have some bugs to work out in the computer but it's running nicely so far
Edit: oh, for the video card(I disagree with it being the most important thing), I didn't upgrade it yet, but it's a ATI Radeon HD 5770 1gb DDR5. Plays LoL and D2(and LS too) without any problems and on highest settings.
