Are all these computer parts compatible with eachother?

[Panarchy]

Hello!

I am going to buy the following parts today;

Motherboard: ASUS Striker Extreme

Graphics Card: Nvidia 8800GT

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Hard Drives: Western Digital (probably a 500GB, as I have just bought a new 400GB one)

Optical Drives: 20x DVD (and CD) burner. (Pioneer or LiteON)

Power Supply: Seasonic M12 or Corsair HX520 or Corsair HX620

Memory (RAM): Mushkin or Corsair (4GB in Total)

Case: Whatever I like in store, or either Coolermaster or Lian.

CPU Cooling Artic Pro

But I want to make sure they are all compatible with eachother, and I am double checking that, that is everything that I need.

And if you think that some part that you know of (model/brand) is better then the ones that I have listed, please don't hesitate to tell me what I should get instead.

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

PS: Please reply!

PPS: I might get the Asus P5K-Deluxe motherboard instead... (Please give me pros & cons!)

for ram i have 2x2GB muskin and i love it, it may be hard to find tho.

for case, Lian-Li's are expensive, i got a nice deal on mine.

for heatsink, Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme

for motherboard, get an x38 or x48 chipset

for video card, EVGA 8800gt

Heatsink is whats going to cool your CPU from overheating, you have to have it unless you plan on running it for a few minutes until it dies lol which, i know is going to be NO..

The one Ripken suggested is a really good one. it will keep that quad core nice and cool.

Where did you buy all this from Panarchy??

@Panarchy... two things...

First - you don't need to make 5 different threads all about the same computer build. You've got one system to build, and you can get all your answers in one place.

Secondly - slow down... you're rushing into this, and I can tell you from experience, something WILL go wrong if you don't slow down. Especially considering that this is your first build... slow down. You need to learn how to crawl before you learn how to walk, let alone run.
