I'd like to figure out what cables and other things I might want to add to the shopping list to complete the build. I'll be running wirelessly, so getting a wireless card.

I've installed most component types many times but never built a machine from the ground up.

Credit for the build goes to Jshoop who was helping someone in another thread with builds.

I've added a few SATA cables, DVI cable for the monitor, wireless card, speakers. What else... Any help would be appreciated.

Mobo manufacturer specs

I'm also trying to put together all the drivers I'll need ahead of time...because why wouldn't you?

 
O.k., thanks guys. I guess I'm a bit paranoid with my first ground-up build. Found a good price on Windows 8.1 so that will not add too much pain. Place all my parts orders and am downloading drivers. Very excited!
 


Not ideal, but I'm used to it. Surprising how much better wireless is now than 10 years ago.
