Making a New pc but still deciding..

Alright here are some of the specs

Motherboard : ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Graphic Card : GeForce GTX 295
Processor: Intel i7 Processor (Base)
Hard Disk Space: 1 Terrabyte
and all the other latest shit..

ok well anyways, im having a LOT of trouble on deciding to make this or not..

i hear many complaints about the motherboard ( ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard) like it overheats and breaks down.. but the intel i7 is ONLY suitable for this motherboard atm.. can any1 help me if i should get this motherboard or does any1 kno a solution to getting the problem of the motherboard overheating fixed?

(Note: Its the motherboard itself, within the motherboard that overheats.. no dont say liquid cooling system cuz that doesnt work)

Also, on recent PC news, desktops probably won't last much longer either. Apparently Intel is focusing most of their resources on laptops, and motherboard makers have to fill orders on what is most profitable, which is laptops apparently now.

hmm..? so would labtops be better for gaming than desktops now?

EDIT: im still making a desktop

No, laptops at best are still one generation behind in gaming power. If you upgrade every 2 years, that's different. But you said your parents are wanting your PC to last 5 years.

oh ok ty ^_^

but,

"You can always do what someone else did, get a cheap desk fan and have it blow on the motherboard. Or you can get little fans and replace the passive heatsink with a fan."

Cant go wrong w/ Asus, get I7 920 is cheaper,get a good heatsink (Corsair H50 im using this one ) and OC that to 4.0 :).

I was just wondering, does that corsair h50 require any maintenance like normal water cooling systems? or no?
