Hi, going to order quite soon, just want to see if ive left anything out or anyone thinks i should go for something else. I already have Antec 1200 + Antec CP 850W.

- Asus S1156 Intel P55 ATX A L (ROG Maximus III Formula)
- Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - OEM
- Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
- Geil Ultra Series 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-17000 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit
- Prolimatech Megahalem Rev B CPU Cooler (Socket 775/1156/1366)
- Akasa AK-FN057 Apache Super Silent 120mm Fan x 2
- Intel X25-M Gen2 Mainstream 80GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
- Western Digital Caviar Green 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM
- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium OEM 64-bit
- Sony Optiarc AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

+ Few extras
- Arctic Cooling MX-3 Thermal Compound
- Akasa AK-CB002 PWM Fan Splitter Cable
- ArctiClean Thermal Material Remover and Surface Purifier - 60ml Kit

Ok so i am pretty confident that it is all compatible.
But, do i need the Akasa fan splitter or will there be two places to plug fans in on the MB?
Also does anyone know if the Magahalem comes with two fan clips or only one?
Do i need any more cables or adapters or any sort?
I plan to overclock the i5 to 3.6-4Ghz.
If i plan to overclock, does this pretty much mean there is no point in getting a retail chip?
Any other suggestions or opinions are welcomed :)

*Added* - Akasa Dual 2.5" SSD/HDD Mounting Kit

Thanks.

Not too bothered about the speed of the HDD as its just for storage, prefer the Caviar green as its quieter and uses less power i believe.
