Some Advice

I have a Asus A8n SLI Deluxe motherboard annd an Enermax 600 watt power supply.

Would the following bits be compatible, or would I need to change m/board and psu?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+ (Socket 939) - OEM

BFG GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)

Thanks for any advice given.

Yes the parts are compatible, however since the CPU is OEM you will need to buy a CPU cooler if you don't already have a suitable one.

I was looking at an Artec Freezer Pro socket 939 one for about 13.00... I take it that would be ok?

Would I need to apply thermal paste onto the CPU in a situation like this?

And another thing... I take it a 600 watt Enermax would be man enough to run a 939 dual core/8800GTS/2 Hard Drives/1 DVD ROM and 1 DVD Re-Writer Drives?

Sorry.
