is the link to what I think I am going to do, my concerns are this:
1. Is my power supply good enough? Should I get a different one that would be cheaper and still provide me what I need?
2. Do I have good enough cooling components for what kind of hardware I have? Same as above should I go cheaper because I have too much or am I on the mark?
3. Are all of the parts compatible?

Thanks in advance Tom's Geniuses!
