Good Mountain Bike Frame?

I am currently in the process of building a bike. The frame I was planning to build with was a Trek 820, which is Cro-moly, so it weighs like 15-20 lbs., and so I'm beginning to have second thoughts. The only parts I have collected for this bike so far consist of an Altus derailleur, a Marzocchi fork, and the 820 frame. Should I ditch the frame and get a carbon or an aluminum frame? If so, what would be good?

Thanks!
