First time builder

I've decided that I'm going to build my next computer. This will be my first time building, and also my first windows machine (always been a mac guy)
This computer will be mainly for gaming, and the budget is 700-900$. (Monitor not included) Any input? Could also use a suggestion for a good monitor. Thinking 22" and no more then 250$

Is 610W going to be enough for this?

Should I look into getting a third party heatsink/fan? Or will the stock be sufficient.

I'm not really sure what to look for in a case, or how many fans would be sufficient cooling for the system. Should I purchase additional fans?

If you plan on overclocking, yes. If you are just going to let it run at factory clocks, no. It will run cool with the regular heatsink/fan they give you.
 
Nice, I would get this PSU, more reliable brand and a slighly bigger and better one, and it is the same price after MIR (mail in rebate)

With that CPU, it is very good if your going to be overclocking....
