Do you think the Saints are built to be a Dynasty?

Sounds like we have a consensus. The Saints are putting the pieces in place to enable several seasons of championship contention. They won't actually be a dynasty unless they win 2-3 Super Bowls, which is a tall order indeed. The difference between the Eagles and the Patriots of the last several years is a handful of plays made or not made at critical times.

What are the key pieces of a perennial contender? I would say outstanding QB, outstanding coaching, high character players, depth at all positions, no high-priced free agents, and a culture of continuous improvement. The Saints have made a lot of progress putting those pieces together. If they keep heading in that direction, they will be very good for a number of years. As for championships, that is up to the football gods.
