Please help me determine if this setup is compatible!

I am looking to get the following:

Antec Performance One P160 ATX Mid-Tower:

Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131517



Thermalright XP-120 Heatsink
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835109118



I'm just hoping that all 3 will work together. It says the heatsink is alright with the motherboard on their website, but i'm not sure of the space inside the P160 case.

If any of you have experience with this, it'd help a TON if you could help me out with any compatibility issues.


Thanks!

Looks good, except the A8N-SLI Deluxe. Upgrade to the premium unless you WANT to have a haedache due to:
(1) The numerous bugs on the Deluxe
(2) The noisy chipset fan which will fail on ya
(3) Lousy overclocking, many bugs (did I say this before?), and the 2T issue.

what is the 2T issue on the Asus board?

Also, any recommendations on good quiet 120mm fans which could go on top of the massive heatsink?
(Also lookin for a case 120mm thats quiet)

Its a memory timing setting. It means that you can only run on 2T command rate, which is slower than 1T command rate, which most skt939 mobos can do without a problem.

Go ABIT. Fatal1ty series si goo'.
