OK Dokee.

I am just about ready to build my system. I will post pic of the build as i go. But I wanted to get some last minute things. things I may need buy have forgotten.

Heres what i have.

mobo

cpu (arctic silver also)

ram

gpu

psu

DL dvd

cooler cpu

case

monitor

HD

mouse

keyboard

20 'network cable (its a long run!)

sound card (but I mainly game on headphones ($200 sennheiser better than any speakers!) Tryem.

Antistatic wristband

I almost forgot to buy a damn surge protector. These are the things I am talking about.

Someone mentioned getting a small flash like drive for MOBO bios updates(really needed?)What else should I have? What have I forgot? Should I really get a second HD for the OS? Anything you guys can think of that I might have forgotten?

Rack your brains, what else should I add to this, My dream rig!

XIPO!

A Magnetic Tip Philips Screw driver sure is handy. Also, if you get an oem sata dvd, make sure you have a cable for it. You may get enough cables with your motherboard?

gaming mouse, mat cables. I also have sennheiser headphone they are amazing but if you are getting a sound card get a Creative X-fi Xremegamer sound card the two together are amazing. also as you are using headphones I would recommend getting a desktop mic. what about lights and fans do you know if the case comes with fans and are they the colour you want, my TT armour came with Blue led fan when I needed green LED fans.

A magnetic screwdriver....that would be bad with the motherboard no?

I have an Thermaltake Armor, comes with a blue 120mm fan, but might mix and match colors , how many fans should I have ?? I have 3 now, the Zalman 9500, the 120mm and the gpu stock.

You don't really need to update you're bios at all unless you get problems with em. So it doesn't really matter about the flash drive.

Magnetic screw driver its putting enough discharge out to damage anything unless you keep proding the components on the board, it comes in handy when you drop screws in the case or trying to screw something down and the little guy ejects out of the way
