Looks like a fine list to me.
Cases are personal preference really. I like Antec towers. I know the CoolerMaster CM690 is a good case. I would hold off on watercooling. With good airflow in your case, it won't be necessary.

Your motherboard comes with both IDE and SATA cables.

If your room gets that hot, and it's causing problems, then you might want to consider getting an air conditioner instead of doing watercooling.
That would help keep the room cool for all your electronics.

If the air in your room is that hot watercooling won't make much difference. You'll just be blowing hot air over the radiator... shadow's right, get an AC for the room. Parts list looks good.

OK, I got all my parts, and hooked them all up.. this is the second computer I've built and first time it didn't work, so needless to say I don't know where to begin..
I checked all the connections and didn't see any problems.. When I turn it on, fans come on, mobo has light, gfx has light, psu fine.. Problem: no display coming from monitor, and keyboard/mouse (both USB) receive no power... HELP! please?  Thanks in advance.. |

Try this: PROBLEMS with a NEW BUILD? Try This!!
Make sure it's out of the case. Also, ty to push the monitor buttons and change the display or input or cource type (wording will depend on brand). |
