little extra bits?

[wupwup]

ive chosen my pc now, all the parts. but what little extras do i need? will i need thermal paste or dose it come on the heatsink, do i need cable ties and things like that? thanks

Cable ties are a good idea for sure, my case included some but im sure not all will, thermal paste generally comes free with coolers but its worth checking. Standard intel/AMD coolers (retail versions) will have thermal paste.

Have you bought any OEM parts?, you may need an extra cable or two, as OEM stuff is sometimes just the item and nothing else, but motherboards generally come with all the cables you need, SATA, IDE etc.

thumb screws if you are going to be opening your case often.. maybe a can of air to clean your pc out every so often.. get rid of the dust buildup in the heatsink etc

Unless you list what you ordered its hard to tell if you need anything else.

i have a cpu, mobo, gfx card, psu, ram, hdd, case and dvd reader. im not planning on overclocking and the case has good fans so i dont think ill need an aftermarket cpu cooler.

oem is original equipment manufacture .. ie non-retail.. in the case of a cpu an oem cpu would just be the cpu itself without any fancy box or heatsink
