Discs were out 6 years ago, just noone really bought into them at the time.
Installing them is fairly easy if you are any good at maintaining your bike yourself.

If you race... Magura Marta's are for you. Light and powerful.

For the wheelset get something from Mavic. They make the best light-strong wheels out there. Just look for their XC series.

Another option is the XTR brakes but I've heard they have issues with sticky pistons and constant travels back to factory to get them working and you need a Shimano or DT Swiss hub and you need the Dual Control Levers.... and so on.

The most common disc brake hubs are the 6 bolt IS standard. Shimano also makes a Center Lock Splined hub rotor, but Shimano also sells rotors with the 6 bolt IS standard.

And you want 160mm discs, that be the xc size. -t
