Well, first off, there is no "future-proof". Secondly, I would either go with the i5 750 (~$200) or go AMD. Unless you can afford to get an 1366 i7, which I didn't really think so because of your proposed build.

Just to echo what others have said - change that PSU for a 600 or 700W one at most. You would have to do some massive upgrading to really utilise an 850W PSU.

You do want a quad core to make that system competitive. Then you can start considering a better PSU, otherwise when your next upgrade comes you'll be upgrading nearly everything anyway.

Wouldnt an i5 750 be competitive?
It can be overclocked to some decent speeds.

And any suggestions on PSU?

While that's usually true with most hardware, the exceptions arecases and PSUs.Having a larger PSU than what you need is useful if you think your next build is going to be significantly more powerful than your first build, or if you think you might add another GPU, a much better CPU, water cooling system, etc. later on. All too often I see people on here and other forums who lament the fact that they can't upgrade to a new GPU, or that their new upgrade is causing their PC to crash because their PSU is too weak to handle the new power demands.

Same thing with the case. IMO a person should always go with a full ATX case. Unless you LAN a lot it's not like the larger size is going to be much of a problem, you get better airflow and cable management, and you won't have to worry about that kickass new GPU or mobo you want not fitting in your case. Furthermore, a case is the one part of your PC that won't need upgrading until the ATX standard goes away, and as a result gives you by far the biggest bang for your buck out of any component since you'll be able to use it in all your future builds. A PSU is much the same way except that they do need replacing eventually once they get too old.
