Will this spec last 3 to 5 years vis-avis gaming? What are the pros/cons? And any suggestion how I might be able to improve the specs? Thanks a lot everyone!

no. you wont get 3-5 years out of it. The technology turns over faster than that.
4 years ago nvidia's big deal gpu was the 6800. These days that wont run much at all. Its just the way it is. gpu industry has a release cycle every 6 months, and the ante ups.
CPUs advance pretty quick too. In 2004 the big thing was PIV's, which are pretty much on the margin now for gaming.
The next big thing will be 6 and 8-cores. they are not far off release now.
its a good build but if you want to future proof yourself, consider a crossfire motherboard (or sli if you have to have nvidia gpus). The advantage is that in 12-18 months time when you need more grunt, you can just slot a second gpu in. At that time the 9800 will be retailing for probably less than $100. This is the most cost effective way to keep a gaming machine up to speed. You will get more bang for your buck than cpu/ram upgrades can offer, and its a lot cheaper than buying a single, high-end card.
I would suggest to you might consider 4850(s) instead of the 9800gtx. They out perform the gtx's by a wide margin, and in many cases (high aa) they will also out perform the gtx+. There also isnt the board failure risk with ati at the moment compared to nvidia

whatever you decide I wish you a lot of fun with the new machine.
