Hi.. Yes all of your parts are compatible, I would make a couple changes:

If you are firm on building an AMD system, I would consider this processor instead. It is a better performing processor than the FX-4100 and yes, it works with the same motherboard. The FX-4100s have a very Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde nature to them, some things they perform well at and other things (particularly gaming) they perform mediocre. The Phenom II offers more consistent performance despite being prior generation.

As far as a cooling solution this one works very well:

As far as a power supply choice this would be sufficient, its good quality and adequate wattage: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027

thank you and yes i am leaning more towards amd simply because they have 4 cores for a low price, farther down the road i am thinking maybe i would get one of the intel processors.

oh and one more thing, about how much room do you think i would have to expand in the future on that power supply.

Not much headroom at 500W, some fans, HHD's etc... would be okay but you won't be putting the vid card in SLI with that

Yea, the other thing about the FX-4100 is its not really a true quad core it "pretends" to have 4 cores. The Phenom IIs are real quads. The i3s "pretend" too with HyperThreading, although Intel's CPUs do it far more efficiently than AMD's FX, its still not quite the same thing as a true quad.

As far as the power supply, like C12 said, its a good enough power supply for 1 6870 video card, for 2 of them, ideally you would want something in the 750 watt range, I have one of these:
