Hey there. I've been checking and rechecking my new PC on newegg for the past few weeks trying to make sure everything is compatible. This is a from-scratch build, and I'm not in the stage for opinions at the moment, as I'm going to purchase it today.
This is purely to double check everything is compatible and ALL the parts are there (including proper cables and everything). If you wouldn't mind checking it for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I also got a headset, and a razer keyboard+mouse.
[b]What I'd like to Know[/b]
1. Is everything compatible.
2. Will this come with all cables? (IE I'm assuming SATAs come with the mobo for the OEM HDD and CD Drive)
3. Is my power supply good enough.
4. Does my CPU need a cooler/do I need another fan or anything?
Also, thank you to [b]Derlicious[/b] for assisting me with my first ever PC build.
I'd get a cooler for the CPU, just as a precaution. Do you intend to overclock the CPU?

Eventually. The cpu comes with a stock heatsink and cooler, but I don't know if it'll be enough. I won't overclock it until it becomes necessary though.

If it comes with a heatsink and cooler, then I would wait to cross that bridge till you get to it. By that I mean, wait until you overclock it and see if it gets too hot. Then decide if you need to get a better cooler.
OP, that CPU is pretty fast, you don't need to OC.
Also I'd sacrifice 2GB of ram and get a good full tower case, such as the HAF 932 or another full tower around $140.
If you're willing to wait a little longer to buy the computer, which you probably aren't, then get the NZXT Phantom. Otherwise, get the 932.
Also you're getting the PSU and HDD as a combo, right?
Eh I guess I'll give it 6 months. Apparently our credit fell through and buying it now isn't an option. Fuck.
