Everything look sgood. You dont need any extra cables, But your DVD ROM is just that a DVD ROM not a DVD Burner. I suggest you get a DVD Burner:Dcheetfreak

Dam, i didn't realize it was just a DVD rom.Im gonna refund it and get a burner.

Any ideas on card reader and cpu fan?

So i ordered the parts for my new pc a few days ago and here is the list

They won't arrive till 9/16 so i still got time to prepare.

I realize some of the parts are OEM, so do i need to buy separate cable for them?

The case come with 2x 120mm rear and front fans. Do you think its enough for the parts that i have or should i put a side fan? What about aftermarket cpu fan and heatsink?

Also i want to add a card readers, anyone have a good and reliable reader that they use?

I know its alot of question but im really clueless :D

thx

I don't have a case yet but thinking about getting this thermaltake M9
