For anyone who's put together several PCs on their own:

Besides the core components (listed below), what other smaller parts (cables, screws, anything) do I need to put this thing together? Assume I buy everything through Newegg and they each come with all the pre-packaged stuff you'd expect.


  • X-Discovery Mid-Tower Case
  • Seasonic 550W PSU
  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 1066FSB 8MB L2 Cache 64-bit
  • Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
  • INTEL LGA775 CERTIFIED CPU FAN & HEATSINK (Any suggestions?)
  • Intel D975XBX2 I975X mobo
  • 4GB PC6400 DDR2/800 Corsair XMS2 Xtreme Memory w/ Heat Spreader
  • ATI Radeon X1950 Pro PCI-E x16 256MB VIDEO CARD (x1950 is most compatible with my NLE software)
  • 74GB WD740ADFD 10,000RPM SATA150 16MB Cache
  • 500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM Hard Drive
  • (2x) NEC 7170A 18X DVD+-RW
  • Creative Labs X-FI XtremeGamer 24-BIT
  • ViewSonic VA1912WB WideScreen 19" Color TFT Active Matrix SXGA LCD Monitor
