Hey guys,

I've wanted to get myself a decent computer for a while now so I found this site which allowed me to put together a machine.
The thing is though, I'm not very experienced with all this, while I know the computer will work, I'm not sure if the different parts I picked are good enough.
So I'm hoping you guys can tell me whether this setup will make sure I won't have to upgrade for quite some time.
Here's what I want to buy:

Processor: AMD FX-8120 - link

Graphics: ASUS ENGTX560 DCII - link
Note: I'm also wondering whether I even need to buy this,this is my old one, would that one be good enough or do you recommend an upgrade?

Power supply: OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W - link
I really don't know anything about this one, do I need more/less power?

Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3 - link

Harddisk: Samsung HD103SJ - Couldn't find an english link so here's some info:
- Capacity: 1.000 GB
- Speed: 7200 rpm
- Cache: 32 MB

Memory: Corsair 16 GB DDR3-1600 Quad-Kit - Again, no link so here's some info:
- Capacity: 16384 MB
- Timings:
CAS Latency (CL) 9
RAS-to-CAS-Delay (tRCD) 9
RAS-Precharge-Time (tRP) 9
Row-Active-Time (tRAS) 24

DVD Drive: Sony Optiarc DDU1681S-0B - link

Case: Sharkoon T9 Value red edition - link
Enough fans, or will I need more?


That should be it.
Any input would be much appreciated, especially on the videocard and the amount of cooling I will need.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for viewing
