Hello,
I am looking to buy the components to build a new computer for my job. This will be my first build from scratch, so I was wondering if someone could help me out by reviewing the parts I have picked already and telling me if there will be any compatibility issues. Also, since I could only find some components OEM instead of Retail, I was wondering if someone could tell me what cables and other hardware I will need that won't be included with these products. Any and all information you could give me to help make sure that I will have everything I need to build this computer would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are the products I plan on purchasing:

BenQ 16X DVD±R DVD Burner With LightScribe Black ATA/ATAPI Model DW1655 - Retail

Also, I wanted to set this up in Raid 0 but I don't exactly know what I would need to do this. I still need to figure out how to do it, but if you could help me out with any specific components I might need, it would be fantastic. Thank you so much in advance for all of your help. I look forward to hearing from you soon and getting this build going.
