Advice on gaming rig...

Would like advice on this build. Am I missing anything glaring? Its mainly a gaming rig for a pretty warm room. What little things will I need for the buildout, such as cables, so that I can minimize store visits? thanks.

Re: Advice on gaming rig...

Looks like you have everything you need...in fact you have 2 of everything you need. That brings up one small concern about your operating system...you only have a 1-pack. That'll likely give you trouble installing on 2 systems, particularly since it's the OEM version. Otherwise, that looks nice. =)

I think it is a glitch with the quantities again as everything but the thermal paste is doubled. It shows 2 OS items for me. Before purchasing, make sure the shopping cart quantities are correct before you actually buy.
