Hey guy!
First time poster, long time computer lover!
This will be the first higher end desktop i have ever bought(not yet though) and put together my self, so i was wondering if these components would be a good buy for a PC-Gamer! (And if they will all work with one another XD)
The Mobo: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula
Newegg.com - ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
The Processr: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T

The Memory: (I was slightly conflicted with which i should go with, so any suggestions here would be awesome!)
CORSAIR XMS3 (x4 2gig sticks) 8gigs -

The Heatsink / Fan: (I was sketchy on this one, because they talked about 2 fans, and as far as i know this is only the 1 fan and heatsink. Does it have another fan mount on it for a total of x2 120mm fans?)
Thermaltake Frio Overclocking-Ready Intel Core i7
Newegg.com - Thermaltake Frio Overclocking-Ready Intel Core i7 (six-core ready) & i5 Compatible Five 8mm Heatpipes Dual 120mm Fans Intel & AMD Universal CPU Cooler CLP0564
The Powersupply: (I was unsure about this since i don't know how to tell exactly how much my system needs on power. The graphics card requires a 600wat pwrsply i think. So is this the right one?)
Thermaltake TR2

Newegg.com - Corsair P128 CMFSSD-128GBG2D 2.5" 128GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

PLEXTOR Black 8X BD-ROM
Newegg.com - PLEXTOR Black 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal BD Combo Model PX-B320SA LightScribe Support - Blu-Ray Drives
Finally the Case! (I'm really unsure here, since its described as a Medium case, that it would be big enough)
Antec Nine Hundred
Newegg.com - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Thanks should go out to those who take the time to read this!
