    Additional cables needed for this build?

    Unless there's something horribly wrong with this build, it's pretty well finalized for me. (EDIT: Changed the drives as it appears the green WDs aren't suitable for raid 5). I'm just wondering what additional cables I will need to put it all together or anything else like that. Basically, I am mailing all of this to another state for me to build with someone during Easter so I need to make sure I have everything. Thanks in advance for the help!

    I'd go to the AsRock (mobo maker) website, and check how many SATA cables are included with the motherboard. You need a total of 5 of them to hook up the 1 SSD, 3 HDDs, and the optical drive.
    i7-2600k @4.5GHz, Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B, 8GB DDR3 1600, GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD3P, GeForce 9500GT, PC P&C 610W, Plextor M3 128GB, Hitachi GST 7K3000 x2 & WD Black, ASUS DVD & LG Blu-ray Burners, Win7 Pro x64, CM 932 Case.

    Excellent. Thank you very much! Looks like the SSD actually comes with one but the mobo does not come with any so I picked out 4 12" SATA cables.
