I dont have the component for the ram since newegg sold out but the original price is $115.99 but has $20.00 rebate so the total would be around $900

Will these components work with each other?
Have WOW and SC2 in max setting with 1920x1200 monitor
Do i have enough PSU power?
 
Yes but for the $$ and given Full HD resolution u should really move out of a HD 5770 based config for best gaming results @@
